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 photograph, taken by Henry Taunt between 1860 and 1887, showcases the serene beauty of St Johns Lock in Lechlade, Gloucestershire. The image is a print from "Taunts New Map of the River Thames" capturing the essence of rural Victorian life along the banks of this iconic river. In this picturesque scene, we see the magnificent weir and lock keepers house standing proudly against the backdrop of lush greenery. The tranquil waters flow gently through St Johns Lock, reflecting a sense of calmness that pervades throughout. A man sits on the riverbank nearby, his figure adding an element of contemplation to this idyllic setting as he gazes upon the reeds swaying in harmony with nature's rhythm. Henry Taunt's masterful composition transports us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace; where simplicity and natural beauty were cherished above all else. This photograph encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into an era long gone. As we observe this remarkable piece captured over a century ago, it serves as a reminder to appreciate our surroundings and find solace in nature's embrace. It invites us to pause for reflection amidst our busy lives and reconnect with simpler times when riverside strolls provided respite from everyday worries. Through Taunt's lens, we are transported into an enchanting world where rural landscapes merge seamlessly with Victorian charm – forever preserved within this timeless print.
