23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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.

Battersea Power Station: A Glimpse into the Past before Regeneration This breathtaking aerial photograph, captured by Damian Grady in September 2012 for Historic England, offers a unique perspective of London's iconic Battersea Power Station before the redevelopment began. The image showcases the vast interior of the central hall, its exposed brickwork and industrial machinery standing as a testament to the power station's rich history. The Battersea Power Station, located in the Wandsworth district, was originally built between 1935 and 1951. It was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott in the Art Deco style and was one of the largest coal-fired power stations in the world at the time. The station's four chimneys, each 185 meters tall, have become an iconic part of the London skyline. The central hall, visible in this photograph, is a remarkable example of the power station's engineering prowess. Measuring 170 meters long and 70 meters wide, it was once home to the station's turbine generators, which produced electricity by converting the energy from steam into mechanical power. The vast space, filled with intricate machinery and towering pipes, is a testament to the industrial revolution that shaped London and the world. As of September 2012, the Battersea Power Station was on the brink of a new chapter in its history. The redevelopment project, which began in 2013, aimed to transform the power station into a mixed-use development, including residential, office, retail, and leisure spaces. This photograph captures a moment in time before the regeneration began, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the power station's industrial heritage.
