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
Bask in the serene beauty of Foxton Locks, a stunning staircase flight of ten locks on the Grand Union Canal in the picturesque village of Foxton, Leicestershire. Captured in this exquisite photograph by Anne French for Historic England, the scene showcases the wooded countryside and the tranquil waterway that winds through the heart of rural England. The Grand Union Canal, a masterpiece of engineering and transportation history, is adorned with these intricately designed lock gates, each one a testament to the ingenuity of the past. The locks allow boats to navigate the elevation change between the upper and lower sections of the canal, connecting the River Thames to the Midlands and the North of England. Listed by Historic England, this site holds significant historical value and is a popular destination for visitors seeking a glimpse into the rich heritage of the waterway system. The peaceful setting, with its lush greenery and the gentle flow of the water, invites one to unwind and appreciate the simple pleasures of nature. As you take in the breathtaking view, imagine the stories of the past that have unfolded along these tranquil waters. From the horse-drawn barges that once transported goods to the bustling markets of the North, to the families and holidaymakers who now enjoy the serenity of the canal, Foxton Locks remain a cherished part of England's history and a testament to the enduring allure of the countryside.
