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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the magnificent Tilbury Fort, located in Tilbury, Chadwell St Mary, Essex. The image showcases the grand entrance of this 17th-century fortification, which was skillfully designed by none other than King Charles II's chief engineer. Photographed by Stanley W Rawlings between 1945 and 1965, this snapshot perfectly captures the timeless beauty and historical significance of Tilbury Fort. The composition draws our attention to the intricate details of the entrance gate, adorned with ornate stonework that reflects the architectural style prevalent during that era. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but imagine what life must have been like within these formidable walls centuries ago. It is a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship that such structures still stand strong today. Tilbury Fort holds a significant place in English history as it played a crucial role in defending against potential invasions from across the sea. Its strategic location on the River Thames made it an essential stronghold for protecting London from enemy forces throughout various periods. Thanks to S W Rawlings' expert eye behind the lens, we are transported back through time to witness a glimpse of England's rich heritage. This print serves as a reminder of our nation's resilience and commitment to preserving its past for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
