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: Dartmouth Castle - A Medieval Fortification Guarding the Dart Estuary 2. Description: This evocative photograph captures the majestic beauty and historical significance of Dartmouth Castle, nestled on the shores of the Dart Estuary in Devon, England. The image showcases the castle's impressive entrance, framed by the tranquil waters of the estuary and the picturesque St. Petrox Church in the background. 3. History: Dartmouth Castle, a Scheduled Ancient Monument and Grade I listed building, is a remarkable example of medieval military architecture. Its construction began in 1388, with the first gun tower erected in 1481. Over the centuries, the castle underwent numerous expansions and renovations, most notably in the late 16th century when the north gun platform was added. 4. Defence and Protection: The castle's primary purpose was to protect the Dart Estuary and the town of Dartmouth from foreign invasion. Its strategic location at the mouth of the estuary made it an essential fortification during times of conflict, particularly during the Hundred Years War and the English Civil War. 5. The Church and Religion: In the background, the charming St. Petrox Church stands as a testament to the religious history of the area. Dedicated to St. Petroc, the patron saint of Cornwall, the church dates back to 1641 and adds a sense of tranquility and spirituality to the scene. 6. The Enduring Allure: This photograph encapsulates the enduring allure of Dartmouth Castle, a symbol of England's rich history and a reminder of the country's defensive past. The combination of the castle's imposing structure, the serene waters of the estuary, and the peaceful presence of the church creates a captivating and timeless image.
