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 stunning print captures the ancient Bewcastle Cross standing proudly in the churchyard of Cumberland, England. Believed to be England's oldest sun-dial, this historical monument dates back to around 670 AD and serves as a fascinating reminder of our ancestors' ingenuity in measuring time using simple yet effective instruments.
The intricate carvings on the cross tell a story of centuries past, where science and religion intertwined to create tools for practical use. The sun's rays cast shadows upon the dial, allowing people to track the passage of time with remarkable accuracy.
Standing tall against the backdrop of history, Bewcastle Cross is not just a physical structure but a symbol of human curiosity and innovation. It reminds us that even in ancient times, people were constantly seeking ways to understand and harness natural phenomena for their benefit.
As we gaze upon this timeless piece of heritage captured by Mary Evans Picture Library, we are transported back in time to an era where measurement was both an art and a science. Let us marvel at the craftsmanship and dedication that went into creating such a remarkable piece of history that still stands strong today.
