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.

1. Title: A Regal Sentinel of the Solent: An Aerial Perspective of Hurst Castle, Hampshire Hurst Castle, nestled on the shores of the Solent in Hampshire, England, is a testament to the indomitable spirit of English fortification and the enduring allure of the coast. This awe-inspiring image, captured by the lens of Damian Grady from Historic England, offers a unique and captivating perspective of this Tudor masterpiece. The photograph presents an aerial view of the castle, revealing its strategic position on the Hurst Spit, a narrow shingle bank that juts out into the English Channel. The castle's imposing silhouette, with its star-shaped bastions and towering walls, stands proud against the backdrop of the cerulean sea and sky. The fortress, constructed in the late 16th century under the orders of Queen Elizabeth I, was designed to protect the Solent, a vital waterway connecting Southampton to the open sea. The castle's unique star-shaped design, a hallmark of Tudor military architecture, allowed for a comprehensive defensive strategy, ensuring that no enemy could approach undetected. The water that surrounds the castle adds to its allure, reflecting the castle's grandeur and the ever-changing moods of the sea. The Solent, with its rich maritime history, has been a vital artery for commerce and military activity for centuries. Hurst Castle, as a sentinel guarding this waterway, has played a pivotal role in shaping the region's history. This photograph, with its breathtaking aerial view, invites us to explore the castle's storied past and appreciate its architectural beauty. It serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the English coast and the indomitable spirit of those who have defended it through the ages.
