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 evocative photograph captures the entrance to the Chapel of the Hotel-Dieu in Montreuil-sur-Mer, a historic town located in the Pas-de-Calais department of northern France. Dating back to circa 1913, this image showcases the intricate beauty and craftsmanship of the French architectural heritage. The Chapel, which was once an integral part of the Hotel-Dieu hospital complex, is adorned with ornate carvings and intricate stonework that reflect the rich history of the region. The entrance is framed by two large, arched doorways, each adorned with intricate carvings and detailed masonry. The arches are supported by stone pillars with elaborate capitals, while the railings on either side of the entrance add an extra layer of elegance and sophistication. The intricate carvings on the doorways depict various religious motifs, including figures of saints and biblical scenes, reflecting the chapel's sacred purpose. Montreuil-sur-Mer, which translates to "Montreuil by the Sea," has a long and storied history, with the first records of the town dating back to the 11th century. The Hotel-Dieu complex, which included the chapel, was established in the 13th century and served as a hospital and refuge for pilgrims and the sick. The chapel, with its stunning architecture and religious significance, remains a popular tourist attraction and a testament to the region's rich history and cultural heritage.
