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 by Chris Redgrave showcases the iconic Gas Holder DP182680, also known as Gasholder No. 5, located in Factory Lane, Croydon, London. The image captures a unique perspective of this historical structure from the north, with an imposing electricity pylon standing tall in the background. The gas holder stands as a testament to London's industrial heritage and serves as a reminder of its rich history in power generation. Its towering presence against the urban skyline evokes a sense of awe and admiration for the engineering marvels that once powered this bustling city. The juxtaposition of the gas holder and electricity pylon symbolizes the transition between two eras of energy production - one fueled by gas and another driven by electricity. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on how our sources of power have evolved over time. Chris Redgrave's expertly captured photograph not only documents this significant architectural landmark but also invites us to contemplate our reliance on various forms of energy throughout history. It encourages us to appreciate both past achievements and future possibilities in powering our cities sustainably. As we admire this stunning image, let us acknowledge Historic England's dedication to preserving such important relics that contribute immensely to our understanding and appreciation of Britain's industrial past.
