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 photograph, titled "Labworth Cafe, Canvey Island" by Angela Clark LRPS, showcases a pioneering architectural gem from the 1930s nestled along the coast of Canvey Island in Essex, England. Designed by the renowned Danish engineer Ove Arup, this modernist building is a testament to the innovative spirit of the era. With its distinctive concrete construction, the Labworth Cafe stands out against the backdrop of the sandy beach and the vast expanse of the North Sea. The Moderne style, characterized by its smooth, uncluttered lines and the use of new materials like concrete, was a popular architectural trend during the interwar period. This style is beautifully embodied in the Labworth Cafe, which was built in the late 1930s. The building's clean lines and minimalist design are a stark contrast to the traditional, ornate structures of the past. Listed as a Grade II building by Historic England, the Labworth Cafe is an important part of the island's rich architectural heritage. It was designed not only as a functional space for leisure and recreation but also as a symbol of progress and modernity. The building's open plan design and large windows allow visitors to fully appreciate the coastal views, creating a seamless connection between the indoors and outdoors. The Labworth Cafe remains an enduring symbol of Canvey Island's past, and a reminder of the visionary architectural ideas that shaped the modern world. This photograph captures the essence of the building, inviting us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of a bygone era. Whether you're an architecture enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of a well-designed space, the Labworth Cafe is sure to leave a lasting impression.
