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 captures the enchanting Ripple Mill, standing proudly on Dover Road in Ripple, Kent. The smock mill is showcased in all its glory, albeit with only two sails remaining, as it was photographed in July 1929 by Francis Matthew Shea. Originally constructed in Drellingore, this Georgian-era corn mill found its new home at this site back in 1807. Despite losing two of its sails by 1927, the resilient structure continued to stand tall until it ceased operations in 1945. Its fate took an unexpected turn when it transformed into a television relay station. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when windmills dotted the countryside landscape. The intricate design of the smock mill is highlighted against the backdrop of lush green fields and clear skies. It serves as a reminder of our rich industrial heritage and how these structures played an integral role in shaping local communities. Francis Matthew Shea's skillful photography transports us back to a time where simplicity reigned supreme and technology had yet to dominate our lives. This print acts as both a historical record and a piece of art that allows us to appreciate the beauty found within architectural marvels like Ripple Mill.
