Barrow Burial Cold Prehistoric Winter
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 photo print, titled "New King Barrows DP136305" captures the ethereal beauty of Stonehenge's New King Barrows in Amesbury, Wiltshire. Covered in a pristine blanket of snow, these ancient burial mounds stand as silent witnesses to prehistoric times. In this winter scene, James O. Davies skillfully portrays the cold and desolate atmosphere surrounding these barrows. The soft glow of sunlight filtering through the icy clouds casts an enchanting light on the snow-covered landscape. Each individual mound is meticulously captured, showcasing their unique shapes and sizes against the wintry backdrop. These barrows hold great historical significance as they represent our ancestors' reverence for their departed loved ones. Dating back thousands of years, they serve as a testament to human existence long before modern civilization took shape. Standing amidst this snowy setting evokes a sense of awe and wonder at how our predecessors honored their dead in such harsh conditions. Davies' photographic artistry transports us back in time while reminding us that nature's elements can transform even the most enduring structures into something magical and otherworldly. This image serves as a poignant reminder of both our shared history and the resilience of those who came before us. As we gaze upon this photograph, let it be a gentle nudge to appreciate not only our past but also the ever-changing beauty that surrounds us today – whether it be under snow or bathed in warm sunshine.
