Dark Flood Lit Industrial Night Reflection Victorian Water
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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
1. Title: "Anderton Boat Lift: A Victorian Industrial Marvel Illuminated by Night" Amidst the tranquil darkness of the Cheshire countryside, the Anderton Boat Lift stands as a testament to the ingenuity and engineering prowess of the Victorian era. This evocative night-time photograph, captured by renowned photographer Bob Skingle for Historic England, showcases the boat lift in all its floodlit glory. The Anderton Boat Lift, constructed in 1875, is a unique and fascinating feat of engineering that connects the River Weaver with the Trent & Mersey Canal. In this image, the industrial structure is bathed in an ethereal glow, as the dark waters below reflect the intricate details of the lift's ironwork. The Anderton Boat Lift was designed to overcome the significant height difference between the two waterways, allowing boats to ascend or descend using a series of counterweights and water chambers. This innovative solution revolutionized transportation in the region, enabling the efficient movement of goods between the industrial hubs of the North West and the ports of the Mersey. As the sun sets and the night descends, the Anderton Boat Lift comes alive with a newfound energy. The floodlights illuminate the intricate details of the Victorian ironwork, casting long, dramatic shadows on the water. The gentle ripples caused by the passing current add a sense of movement and life to the still scene, creating a captivating juxtaposition between the industrial past and the natural world. This photograph invites us to appreciate the beauty and historical significance of the Anderton Boat Lift, a true marvel of Victorian engineering that continues to captivate and inspire visitors to this day.
