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 transports us back in time to the enchanting Botanic Garden in Oxford. Standing at the main gate, built over three centuries ago by the skilled hands of Nicholas Stone, we are invited to peer into a world of natural beauty and tranquility. As our gaze follows the leafy avenue that stretches out before us, it is impossible not to be captivated by the allure of this historic garden. The meticulously maintained pathway seems to whisper stories of centuries past, as if each step taken here carries with it a piece of botanical history. Originally established as the Oxford Physic Garden in 1621 by Henry Danvers, this horticultural haven has evolved into an oasis for both scholars and nature enthusiasts alike. Its rich heritage is palpable through every carefully cultivated flowerbed and lush greenery that surrounds us. The photograph itself was expertly captured by Henry Taunt in 1911, freezing a moment in time where visitors could embark on their own journey through this idyllic sanctuary. Taunt's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur of the main gate but also hints at what lies beyond – a treasure trove waiting to be discovered within these walls. This remarkable image serves as a reminder that amidst bustling city life, there exists an escape into nature's embrace. It beckons us to wander through its entrance once more, leaving behind our worries and immersing ourselves in the serenity found within this cherished garden.
