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 showcases the iconic Orbit Tower, standing tall and proud amidst the bustling Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London. Taken by the talented photographer Damian Grady in May 2013, this aerial shot perfectly captures the architectural marvel that became synonymous with the city's hosting of the Olympics. The Orbit Tower, designed by Anish Kapoor and Cecil Balmond, is a true testament to human ingenuity and artistic vision. Its intricate lattice structure seems to defy gravity as it spirals upwards into the sky, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle for all who witness it. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of not only its aesthetic beauty but also its significance as a symbol of sporting excellence. The tower served as an emblematic landmark during the 2012 Summer Olympics held in London, where athletes from around the world gathered to compete at their highest level. With its vibrant red color contrasting against a backdrop of greenery and blue skies, this image evokes a sense of energy and excitement that permeated throughout those historic games. It encapsulates both athleticism and artistry within one frame—a visual representation of how sport can transcend boundaries and inspire generations. Damian Grady's skillful lens has immortalized this moment in time when London stood proudly on the global stage.
