Crystal Formal Fountain Fountains Paxton Sydenham Terrace
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 photograph captures the breathtaking beauty and grandeur of The Fountains at Crystal Palace in Sydenham, London, as they stood in 1908. The image showcases a series of ornate fountains arranged in a formal, symmetrical pattern on the terrace, with a majestic tower and archway in the background. The crystal clear water cascades gracefully from the fountain heads, reflecting the brilliant blue sky and lush greenery of the surrounding gardens. The Fountains at Crystal Palace were originally designed by the renowned architect Joseph Paxton for the Great Exhibition of 1851, which was held in Hyde Park, London. After the exhibition, the structures were dismantled and rebuilt in Sydenham, becoming a popular attraction for visitors to the Crystal Palace, which was then located in the area. The Crystal Palace itself was a groundbreaking architectural achievement, made primarily of iron and glass, and was the largest building in the world at the time. Sadly, it was destroyed by fire in 1936, but the Fountains remained as a testament to the grandeur of the original structure. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of formal gardens, grand architecture, and the beauty of nature. The intricate details of the fountains and the serene atmosphere of the gardens are a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of this iconic landmark in Sydenham, London.
