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 captures the essence of rural communication in a bygone era. Standing tall against the picturesque backdrop of Malvern Hills in Worcestershire, this Victorian Pillar Box stands as a testament to the enduring power of human connection. Its vibrant red hue, contrasting with the lush greenery surrounding it, evokes a sense of nostalgia and charm. Nestled alongside a winding road, this post box served as a lifeline for remote communities nestled within these hills. In an age where technology was yet to dominate our lives, handwritten letters were entrusted to this pillar box - carrying heartfelt messages and news from afar. The photographer's keen eye has beautifully captured not just an architectural marvel but also the spirit of resilience that defines rural life. The stoic presence of this post box amidst nature's grandeur reminds us that even in remote corners, communication knows no bounds. Kenneth M. Walker LRPS skillfully brings history alive through his lens, inviting us on a virtual journey into yesteryears. This image is more than just a photograph; it is an invitation to reflect upon how far we have come while cherishing the simplicity and authenticity that once defined our interactions. As we gaze at this remarkable piece of heritage preserved by Historic England, let us be reminded that behind every letter dropped into its depths lies stories waiting to be shared – stories woven together by love, longing, joy or sorrow – all carried faithfully by those who dedicated their lives to connecting people across vast distances.
