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 to the year 1920, capturing the grandeur of Bishop King's Palace in St Aldates, Oxford. The image showcases the west side of the street, offering a glimpse into its rich history and architectural beauty. Built between 1622-8 by Thomas Smith, this main range is believed to have incorporated an even older structure. However, it is the west range that steals the spotlight with its striking five gables - a testament to its 16th/17th-century origins. Standing tall and proud against the backdrop of Oxfordshire's skyline, this palace exudes an air of elegance and regality. Renowned photographer Henry Taunt skillfully captures every intricate detail in this photograph. From the ornate windows to the carefully crafted stonework, each element tells a story of centuries past. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how architecture has evolved over generations. Historic England preserves these invaluable glimpses into our collective heritage for future generations to appreciate and learn from. This particular print serves as a visual time capsule that allows us to marvel at Bishop King's Palace as it stood almost a century ago - an enduring symbol of Oxford's rich cultural tapestry.
