17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the border post IC048 / 028 along Hadrian's Wall. The reconstruction line drawing beautifully depicts a scene of a traveller and his horse being assessed by Roman soldiers on the southern side of Knag Burn Gateway. This particular gateway holds significance as it was one of the rare entrances through Hadrian's Wall that was not connected to a milecastle or fort. The attention to detail in Philip Corke's illustration transports us into this historical moment, where we witness the interaction between the traveller and the vigilant Roman soldiers. The soldier's shields and weapons are prominently displayed, showcasing their military prowess and preparedness for any potential threat. The presence of people within this graphic adds depth and realism to the scene, allowing us to imagine what life would have been like during this era. It is evident that Corke has expertly captured both the architectural elements of Knag Burn Gateway and the essence of Roman military culture. As we admire this remarkable artwork, let us appreciate how it offers a glimpse into our past, reminding us of ancient civilizations' ingenuity in constructing such monumental structures like Hadrian's Wall. Philip Corke skillfully brings history alive through his artistry, leaving an indelible impression on anyone fortunate enough to view this extraordinary piece.
