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 captures a timeless scene of London's iconic Mall and Buckingham Palace. Taken by the talented photographer John Gay between 1960 and 1965, this image beautifully encapsulates the essence of British monarchy, reflecting both history and everyday life. In the foreground, a large puddle dominates the frame, mirroring not only the grandeur of Queen Victoria's memorial but also the bustling activity surrounding it. People can be seen strolling along The Mall, their figures gracefully reflected in the water below. A lone cyclist adds to the sense of movement and vitality in this wintry setting. As our gaze moves beyond the puddle, we are greeted with an awe-inspiring sight: Buckingham Palace standing tall against a cloudy sky. Its majestic presence symbolizes power and tradition while serving as a reminder of Britain's rich heritage. The inclusion of a solitary tree adds depth to this composition, its bare branches reaching towards heaven as if seeking solace from winter's grip. And amidst all this splendor lies an inconspicuous car parked at one side—a subtle reminder that even amidst regal surroundings, everyday life continues unabated. John Gay has masterfully captured both stillness and motion in this photograph—freezing time for us to appreciate London's historic charm. It serves as a poignant reflection on how nature intertwines with human existence within such monumental settings—an eternal testament to England's enduring legacy.
