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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view captures the historic Reculver Towers and Roman Fort in Kent, England. Known as Regulbium during the Roman era, this site served as a vital Saxon Shore fort and naval base for the Classis Britannica – the formidable Roman fleet stationed in Britain. Although time and coastal erosion have taken their toll on parts of the fort, remnants of its landward walls can still be seen on the ground. However, it is from above that one truly appreciates the grandeur of this ancient stronghold. The outline of the fort becomes much clearer when viewed from an aerial perspective, revealing fascinating details such as a later church situated at its center. Damian Grady's expert photography skillfully captures both history and natural beauty in this remarkable image. The juxtaposition between man-made structures and nature's relentless force is evident here; while some sections succumb to erosion over time, others stand strong against these elements. The Reculver Towers and Roman Fort are not just relics frozen in time; they serve as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience throughout centuries. This photograph invites viewers to reflect upon our shared past while marveling at how these ancient ruins continue to inspire awe today.
