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 photograph, taken in the year 1903, offers a rare glimpse into the world of the bell ringers of St. Paul's Cathedral in London. The interior of the ringing chamber is depicted here, with the twelve bells of the north tower prominently displayed, ready to be rung by an all-male band of dedicated ringers. The intricate details of the chamber's architecture, adorned with ornate carvings and intricate brickwork, add to the sense of history and tradition that surrounds this ancient practice. Bell ringing, also known as campanology, is a skill that requires great strength, precision, and coordination. The bells are rung by pulling on ropes attached to the clapper, which strikes the bell to produce a sound. The ringers in this photograph are in the process of changing, which involves rearranging the order of the bells to create a unique and intricate pattern of sounds. The art of bell ringing has a rich history, with St. Paul's Cathedral being one of the most famous locations for this tradition. The bells have been rung here for centuries, with the oldest bell, the Great Bell, dating back to 1700. The practice of bell ringing has been passed down through generations, and continues to be a cherished part of British culture and heritage. This photograph is a stunning reminder of the dedication and skill of the bell ringers of St. Paul's Cathedral in the early 1900s. Their commitment to preserving this ancient tradition, and the beautiful music it produces, continues to resonate with people around the world to this day.
