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 photograph, taken by John Gay in 1952, transports us back to a simpler time in the English countryside. The image captures a quaint corner of Thundridge, Hertfordshire, where Cambridge Road intersects with another road near the Sow and Pigs public house. At this junction stands an old-fashioned finger post or signpost that points towards three intriguing destinations: Much Hadham, Cold Christmas, and a private road. The weathered wooden signpost serves as a charming reminder of days gone by when such humble markers were relied upon for navigation. Its rustic appearance adds character to the scene while evoking nostalgia for an era when life moved at a slower pace. Intriguingly named locations beckon from each direction indicated by the signpost. Much Hadham promises picturesque landscapes and perhaps hidden treasures waiting to be discovered within its boundaries. Meanwhile, Cold Christmas piques our curiosity with its enigmatic name - does it refer to wintry celebrations or hold deeper historical significance? And finally, the allure of the private road invites speculation about what lies beyond its gates - is it an exclusive estate or simply a quiet path leading into nature's embrace? John Gay's skillful composition allows us to immerse ourselves in this snapshot of rural England over half a century ago. As we gaze upon this timeless image captured through his lens, we are transported not only geographically but also emotionally – reminded of simpler times and inspired to explore these fascinating destinations that continue to enchant visitors
