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 J Davis Burton in 1868, offers a glimpse into the military history of the iconic Tower of London. The image showcases the Parade Ground, where the garrison is meticulously drilled in front of the magnificent Waterloo Barracks. Built in 1845 to replace the Grand Storehouse that tragically burned down, these barracks stand as a testament to Victorian fortification and architectural prowess. The scene is alive with activity as soldiers clad in their distinctive uniforms march and perform synchronized maneuvers under clear blue skies. Their disciplined formation creates an awe-inspiring spectacle against the backdrop of this historic fortress. It's fascinating to witness how military precision was upheld even during peaceful times. J Davis Burton skillfully captures this momentous occasion, freezing it forever within his lens. His attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur of the Tower itself but also provides insight into everyday life within its walls over a century ago. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Historic England's Howarth-Loomes Collection, we can't help but be transported back in time - imagining ourselves amidst onlookers who marveled at both the mightiness of British military power and architectural splendor. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our rich heritage and evokes a sense of pride for those who have served their country throughout history.
