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 by Bernard Stradling LRPS transports us back in time to the formidable Cromwell's Castle, a striking gun tower built in 1651-2 as a response to the Dutch threat faced by the Isles of Scilly. Standing tall and proud against the coastal backdrop, this listed historical gem exudes an air of strength and resilience. The composition beautifully captures the castle's strategic position overlooking the vast expanse of water, reminding us of its crucial role in defending these shores centuries ago. The tower's solid stone walls bear witness to countless battles fought and won, while its imposing presence serves as a reminder of our nation's rich maritime history. Stradling skillfully plays with light and shadow, enhancing both texture and depth within this image. The soft hues of blue from sky and sea create a harmonious contrast against the rugged stonework. As we gaze upon this scene, we can almost hear echoes of cannon fire reverberating across time. This photograph is not just a mere snapshot; it is an invitation to explore our past through architecture that has stood strong for centuries. It reminds us that even amidst changing tides, there are steadfast structures that withstand the test of time. Let this image serve as a testament to human ingenuity and determination when faced with adversity – qualities embodied by Cromwell's Castle itself.
