31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 to the serene beauty of River Barle in Somerset, captured by the talented photographer John Gay in 1956. The image showcases a stone bridge with a dark arch, providing shelter for those passing beneath it. As we gaze through this architectural marvel, our eyes are drawn along the calm stretch of river that stretches out before us. In this tranquil scene, nature's wonders unfold as trees sway gently on the riverbank while low farm buildings dotting the landscape add a touch of rustic charm. Beyond them lie rolling hills that seem to merge seamlessly with the horizon. It is as if time stands still within this idyllic setting. John Gay's masterful composition allows us to immerse ourselves in this peaceful moment frozen in time. The play between light and shadow adds depth and mystery to the photograph, enhancing its ethereal quality. Through his lens, Gay captures not just an ordinary view but also evokes emotions of tranquility and serenity. This remarkable snapshot reminds us of nature's ability to soothe our souls and transport us away from life's hustle and bustle. As we admire this stunning piece of artistry by John Gay, we are reminded once again why historic landmarks like these deserve preservation – they serve as windows into our past while offering solace amidst today's fast-paced world.
