Granite Listed Memorial Rubble Obelisk
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 print by Bernard Stradling LRPS showcases the striking Smith Monument, a rough granite rubble obelisk nestled on the enchanting Isles of Scilly. With its weathered exterior and commanding presence, this memorial stands as a testament to the enduring power of remembrance. The Smith Monument is an architectural marvel that has been listed for its historical significance. Its rugged construction reflects the resilience and strength of both the monument itself and those it commemorates. The use of rough granite rubble adds texture and character to this imposing structure, evoking a sense of timelessness. Set against a backdrop of breathtaking natural beauty, this photograph captures not only the physical grandeur of the obelisk but also invites contemplation about life's transience. As sunlight dances upon its surface, shadows playfully dance around each crevice, emphasizing every intricate detail carved into stone. Bernard Stradling LRPS skillfully captures these elements in his composition, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in both history and nature simultaneously. This image serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst vast landscapes or isolated islands like the Isles of Scilly, human stories are etched into our surroundings. Whether one admires architectural feats or seeks solace in contemplating past lives remembered through memorials such as this one, Stradling's print offers an opportunity for reflection and connection with our shared heritage.
