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 evocative photograph, taken by Henry Taunt in 1903, captures the serene beauty of Queens College, Oxford's front quad during the Edwardian era. The image, titled CC51_00352, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the college's timeless elegance and the simple pleasures of the day. The photograph looks west along the south arcade of the front quad, with its intricately designed arches and columns, which were built gradually over the first half of the 18th century. The classical architecture of the quad is a testament to the rich history and academic tradition of this esteemed institution. The scene is further brought to life by the presence of bicycles parked haphazardly along the quad's edges. These bicycles, a common mode of transportation during the early 20th century, add a sense of energy and movement to the otherwise still image. The students and scholars of Queens College, dressed in their formal attire, can be imagined making their way to their next lecture or engagement, their bicycles providing a convenient and efficient means of travel. The image also serves as a reminder of a simpler time, when the pleasures of academia and the simple joy of riding a bicycle were intertwined. The bicycles, with their distinctive shapes and designs, add a charming touch to the photograph, making it a captivating snapshot of life at Queens College, Oxford during the Edwardian era.
