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 from Historic England takes us back to August 1959, capturing the essence of St Giles Cripplegate in London. Standing tall and proud, the church is seen in splendid isolation amidst a sea of empty plots. The aerial perspective reveals a street plan that stands out, showcasing the unique layout of this urban landscape. Intriguingly, signs of progress can be observed as new buildings have begun to emerge alongside the historic structures. However, it is the stark contrast between old and new that truly captures our attention. The church's timeless beauty seems untouched by time as it remains an architectural gem within its surroundings. Fast forward to today, and we find that much of this area has been transformed into the renowned Barbican Centre. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how landscapes evolve over time while preserving fragments of their past. The image itself exudes a sense of nostalgia with its black and white tones, transporting us back to an era where life moved at a different pace. It invites contemplation on how cities change and adapt throughout history while still retaining elements that make them unique. Through this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, Historic England allows us to appreciate both the rich heritage embedded within St Giles Cripplegate and witness firsthand how London's urban fabric continues to evolve through generations.
