23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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.

Battersea Power Station, London: A Timeless Industrial Landmark on the Thames This photograph, taken by the renowned British photographer Stanley W. Rawlings between 1945 and 1955, offers a glimpse into the rich industrial history of London. The image showcases the iconic Battersea Power Station, located on the south bank of the River Thames. Designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott and opened in 1933, this architectural marvel stands as a testament to the city's engineering prowess. The power station, with its distinctive chimneys, is seen from Chelsea Bridge, looking southeast. The fourth chimney, which was added later, is not yet visible in this image. The Grosvenor Bridge, a suspension bridge connecting Chelsea on the north bank to Battersea on the south, adds an intriguing element to the scene. The Thames, with its tranquil waters, reflects the industrial grandeur of the power station, creating a unique juxtaposition between the natural and the man-made. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where the industrial might of London's power stations played a crucial role in the city's development. Stanley W. Rawlings, a master of his craft, expertly frames the power station against the backdrop of the river and the bridge, providing a visual narrative of London's industrial heritage. This photograph is an invaluable addition to the Historic England collection, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the enduring allure of London's industrial landmarks.
