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 photograph captures the rich history and architectural grandeur of Swindon Works, located in Wiltshire, England. Once a bustling hub of activity for the Great Western Railway, this iconic site now stands as a testament to the region's industrial heritage. The image showcases The Engine House, which has been transformed into the esteemed Historic England Archive. Intriguingly framed by scaffolding erected for repairs, this print offers a unique glimpse into the preservation efforts undertaken to maintain this historic landmark. Damian Grady's keen eye for detail allows viewers to appreciate both the intricate design elements and sheer scale of Swindon Works. The sprawling railway complex is an awe-inspiring sight from above; its vast expanse dotted with offices that once bustled with workers dedicated to keeping Britain's railways running smoothly. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how these buildings played an integral role in shaping transportation history. As we admire this image captured by Damian Grady, we are transported back in time to an era when steam engines ruled the tracks and Swindon Works was at its zenith. It invites us to reflect on our past while appreciating the tireless efforts made by organizations like Historic England in preserving our cultural heritage for future generations.
