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 by John Gay, titled "Water meadows a083400" transports us back to the serene countryside of West Harnham in Salisbury, Wiltshire. Captured in 1958, this image showcases the idyllic beauty of flooded pastures along the river and water meadows. As we gaze upon the scene, our eyes are drawn towards the distant spire of the magnificent Cathedral Church of St Mary. The focal point of this photograph is undoubtedly the cattle peacefully grazing amidst these watery surroundings. Their presence adds a touch of rural charm and emphasizes how harmoniously animals coexist with nature in this picturesque landscape. The floodwaters provide nourishment for both livestock and fertile land, demonstrating how natural cycles shape life in rural communities. John Gay's expert composition allows us to appreciate every detail within this frame: from each blade of grass glistening with dewdrops to the reflection of clouds on still waters. This snapshot freezes a moment that encapsulates tranquility and simplicity—a reminder that even amidst floods and unpredictable weather patterns, there is an undeniable resilience found in rural areas.
