Edwardian Listed Remote Reservoir Tower Tree Water Rustication
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 magnificent Howden Dam, an architectural marvel nestled in a remote forested landscape. Built with meticulous craftsmanship during the Edwardian era, this listed reservoir stands tall as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess. The photographer, Paul Cutts, skillfully captures the essence of this awe-inspiring structure. The Howden Reservoir was meticulously designed to serve the needs of several bustling cities and counties including Derby, Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield, and Derbyshire. Its purpose is to provide a vital water source for these communities without compromising on its natural surroundings. This harmonious blend between man-made construction and untouched wilderness is truly remarkable. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn towards the towering dam that proudly guards against the immense force of water held within its confines. The rustication on its surface adds character while reminding us of its enduring strength over time. Surrounded by lush greenery and majestic trees reaching towards the sky, it's easy to feel a sense of tranquility emanating from this scene. The stillness of the water mirrors nature's serenity while reflecting sunlight like scattered diamonds. Paul Cutts' photograph invites us into a world where human innovation coexists harmoniously with nature's beauty. It serves as a reminder that even in our quest for progress and development, we can create structures that seamlessly integrate into their environment without sacrificing their functionality or aesthetic appeal.
