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 photograph, dated circa 1910s, showcases the iconic Copper Horse statue located at the end of the Long Walk in Windsor Great Park, Berkshire. The equestrian sculpture, created by Sir Richard Westmacott (1775-1856), marks the end of the historic mile-long avenue that leads from Windsor Castle to Snow Hill. The statue, which depicts King George III on horseback, is clad in a copper green patina, giving it an otherworldly and timeless appearance. The rugged plinth, overgrown with moss and lichen, adds to the wild and untamed beauty of the surrounding landscape. The rocky platform on which the statue stands provides a stark contrast to the sleek and polished horse and rider. The Long Walk, a favorite among visitors to Windsor Great Park, is a popular destination for both locals and tourists alike. The avenue, which stretches for over two miles, offers stunning views of the park and the castle. The Copper Horse, with its commanding presence, serves as a fitting end to this scenic walkway. The photograph, taken in the early 1900s, captures the essence of the past while also highlighting the natural beauty of the present. The overgrown plinth and the rugged terrain add to the sense of history and tradition, making this a truly captivating image of Windsor's rich heritage.
