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
This evocative photograph, taken around 1915 by Campbells Press Studio, captures the essence of University College London (UCL) during a bygone era. The image, now held in the Historic England Archive, presents a serene scene in the heart of the university campus. The quadrangle, adorned with lush greenery, serves as the backdrop to this snapshot of academic life. Male and female students, dressed in the fashion of the time, are engaged in various activities. Some are deep in conversation, while others are lost in thought, perhaps pondering over complex academic problems. The pedimented portico, a testament to the grandeur of the university, looms in the background. Its intricate design and classical architecture reflect the intellectual rigor and tradition of learning that UCL embodies. Two observatories, nestled on either side of the quadrangle, add an element of scientific discovery and innovation to the scene. They symbolize the university's commitment to exploration and the pursuit of knowledge, both in the humanities and the sciences. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a visual record of the academic community that once thrived in this historic space. It serves as a reminder of the enduring value of education and the importance of institutions like University College London in shaping the minds of future generations.
