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.

A Haunting View of H.M. Prison, Peterhead: A Window into Scotland's Convict Past This evocative photograph captures the imposing silhouette of H.M. Prison, Peterhead, standing sentinel against the vast expanse of the North Sea in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The prison, which opened in 1888, was once Scotland's only convict prison, a place of punishment and rehabilitation for the most hardened criminals of the time. The Victorian-era prison, with its bleak, austere facade, was a stark reminder of the harsh realities of the criminal justice system during the 1880s. The high walls, barred windows, and towering chimneys were designed to keep the inmates inside and the outside world out. The prison's isolation, situated on a rocky promontory, added to its forbidding atmosphere. The North Sea beyond the prison walls adds an extra layer of melancholy to the scene. The vast, unending expanse of water serves as a poignant reminder of the isolation and solitude experienced by the prisoners. The prison's proximity to the sea also made it a dangerous place, with numerous escape attempts thwarted by the treacherous waters. The history of H.M. Prison, Peterhead, is a fascinating glimpse into Scotland's criminal past. The prison was closed in 1987, and today, it stands as a reminder of a bygone era, a time when punishment was seen as a means of reform rather than rehabilitation. This photograph offers a unique perspective on a dark and intriguing chapter in Scottish history.
