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 remarkable transformation of Wroughton Airfield in Wiltshire into a thriving solar park. Taken in February 2016 by talented photographer Damian Grady, this print showcases the early stages of construction before it was energized just over a month later. The image reveals rows upon rows of solar panels stretching across the airfield, harnessing the power of the sun to generate clean and renewable electricity. The sheer scale and precision of this project is awe-inspiring, as it demonstrates our commitment to environmental sustainability and reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. Notably, some hangars within the airfield have found new purpose as they are now utilized by the Science Museum. This unique combination of history and innovation makes Wroughton Airfield Solar Park even more extraordinary. Grady's expertly captured perspective allows us to appreciate both the vastness of this solar farm and its harmonious integration with its surroundings. The contrast between nature's beauty and human ingenuity is striking; green fields bordering these gleaming panels serve as a reminder that we can coexist with nature while still embracing technological advancements. This print serves as a powerful testament to how we can repurpose existing spaces for sustainable initiatives, creating a brighter future for generations to come.
