Ashlar Industrial Iron Listed Lock Gate Transport Water
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 entrance lock to the former East India Dock Basin, a remarkable piece of industrial history. The image perfectly captures the essence of this iron lock gate, standing tall and proud against the backdrop of the iconic Millennium Dome. Listed as a significant architectural structure, this ashlar masterpiece is a testament to Britain's rich maritime heritage. The photograph beautifully captures the intricate details and craftsmanship that went into creating this imposing lock gate. Its weathered appearance tells tales of countless ships passing through its sturdy embrace over time. As you gaze at it, you can almost hear echoes of bustling activity from bygone eras when trade and transport thrived along these waters. The presence of the Millennium Dome in the background adds an intriguing contrast between past and present. It serves as a reminder that while industries may come and go, our ability to adapt and evolve remains constant. Colin Carron's expert photography skills have truly brought out every nuance in this composition - from the play of light on iron surfaces to reflections dancing upon rippling water. This print not only immortalizes an important historical landmark but also invites viewers to ponder upon our ever-changing urban landscape. As we admire this extraordinary image captured by Colin Carron for Historic England, let us appreciate both our industrial roots and our capacity for transformation – all encapsulated within one frame
