17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 print captures the essence of history and heritage in Alnwick, England. The Hotspur Tower, also known as The Bondgate Tower, stands tall and proud as a remnant of the town walls dating back to the 14th century. Legend has it that this tower was once inhabited by Henry "Hotspur" Percy himself, adding an extra layer of intrigue to its already rich historical significance.
In this image, we see a young woman pushing a pram with a child inside, walking past the grand Hotspur Tower. It is fascinating to imagine what life must have been like in Alnwick during that time period when this tower was an integral part of the town's defenses.
The black and white aesthetic of this photograph adds to its timeless quality, transporting us back to the 1930s when it was captured. The juxtaposition of modernity with ancient history creates a sense of continuity and connection between past and present.
As we gaze upon this scene, we can't help but feel grateful for those who have preserved these architectural marvels for future generations to appreciate. The Hotspur Tower continues to stand as a symbol of Alnwick's enduring legacy, reminding us of our shared history and roots.
