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 captures the timeless beauty of the Suspension Bridge, a remarkable footbridge that spans over the majestic River Great Ouse in Bedford. Dating back to 1888, this architectural masterpiece was meticulously designed by John Webster and features intricate ironwork crafted by E Page and Co of Bedford. With its impressive 100 ft (30 metre) span, this iron bow string lattice girder bridge stands as a testament to engineering brilliance. The deck, made of concrete laid on Westwood and Baileys corrugated iron plates, adds a modern touch to its historical charm. Nestled within a picturesque parkland setting, this iconic bridge is surrounded by lush greenery and towering trees that provide a serene backdrop for those who traverse it. Its graceful suspension design creates an ethereal atmosphere as it seemingly floats above the tranquil waters below. Listed as an important heritage site (IoE 350232), this footbridge not only serves as a practical means of crossing but also symbolizes the rich history and cultural significance of Bedfordshire. It invites visitors to step into the past while enjoying the natural beauty that surrounds them.
