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.

Calshot Castle - A Timeless Guardian of the Solent
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This aerial view showcases Calshot Castle, a remarkable Tudor fortification nestled on the Hampshire coast. Built during the reign of Henry VIII, this majestic castle stands as a testament to England's rich history and its unwavering commitment to coastal defense. Perched at the mouth of Southampton Water, Calshot Castle served as an impregnable stronghold against potential invaders for centuries. Its strategic location allowed it to safeguard one of England's busiest waterways, ensuring the safety and prosperity of Southampton's bustling port. The imposing silhouette of Calshot Castle is a sight to behold. With its sturdy walls and towering turrets, it exudes strength and resilience against any maritime threat that dared approach these shores. The fortress bristles with artillery, ready to unleash its formidable firepower upon those who would challenge England's sovereignty. As we gaze upon this historic print from Historic England Photo Library, we are transported back in time. We can almost hear echoes of past battles fought within these very walls; feel the salty sea breeze that has witnessed countless ships pass by; and imagine life within this extraordinary bastion where soldiers once stood guard day and night. Today, Calshot Castle remains not only a cherished heritage site but also an enduring symbol of national pride. It serves as a reminder that our history is etched into every stone and that our duty is to preserve these treasures for future generations – so they too may marvel at the indomitable spirit embodied
