31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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: "Merlin's Cave at Tintagel Castle: A Legendary Coastal Hideaway" Merlin's Cave at Tintagel Castle, Cornwall, is a captivating and enigmatic coastal feature that has been shrouded in legend for centuries. This hauntingly beautiful image, Historic England Photo Library K900465, showcases the cave's dark, mysterious allure as the sea relentlessly crashes against its entrance. Tintagel Castle, a legendary stronghold steeped in Arthurian lore, is incomplete without a mention of Merlin's Cave. According to the tales, Merlin, the wise and powerful sorcerer, resided in this very cave during King Arthur's time. The cave's dark, secluded depths were believed to be the perfect sanctuary for the enigmatic magician. The cave, carved into the rugged Cornish coastline, is a testament to the raw power and beauty of nature. The dark, ominous entrance, framed by the churning waves, invites the imagination to explore the hidden world within. The cave's cavernous interior, hidden from view, remains a tantalizing mystery, shrouded in the mists of time. The sea, a constant presence, plays a crucial role in the legend of Merlin's Cave. The relentless waves, seen crashing against the cave entrance in this image, are said to have carried Merlin to the Isle of Avalon when he chose to leave Tintagel. The sea, with its ebb and flow, is a reminder of the ever-changing world outside the cave's protective embrace. This evocative image of Merlin's Cave at Tintagel Castle invites us to explore the legends and mysteries of the past, while reminding us of the power and beauty of the natural world. The dark, mysterious cave, the crashing waves, and the rugged coastline all come together to create a scene that is at once captivating and enchanting.
