17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 showcases the magnificent Wellington Arch with its iconic Duke of Wellington statue, a true testament to London's rich history. Standing proudly at Hyde Park Corner, this architectural masterpiece was skillfully crafted by Decimus Burton in 1828. The awe-inspiring statue itself, created by Matthew Cotes Wyatt between 1840 and 1843, weighs an astonishing 40 tons. The image captures the grandeur of the arch and its classical design elements, evoking a sense of timeless elegance. The towering structure stands as a symbol of victory and honor, commemorating the Duke of Wellington's triumph at Waterloo. Interestingly, both the arch and statue underwent significant relocations over time. In 1882, when the arch was moved to Constitution Hill and renamed Constitution Arch, the colossal statue found its new home in Aldershot. This historical snapshot allows us to appreciate these landmarks in their original setting before they were relocated. Photographed by York and Son during the period from 1870 to 1882, this print provides us with a glimpse into Victorian-era England. It serves as a remarkable reminder of our heritage and invites us to reflect on how architecture can shape our understanding of history.
