31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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
1. Title: "A Serene Moment in History: Liverpool's Birkenhead Park - The Lake, Circa 1900" Birkenhead Park, located in the heart of Birkenhead on the Wirral Peninsula in England, is a testament to the visionary thinking of its designer, Joseph Paxton. Opened on April 5, 1847, this public park is celebrated as the first civic park in Britain, funded by the local council for the enjoyment of the community. This photograph, taken circa 1900, showcases the picturesque Lake area of Birkenhead Park. The tranquil water reflects the elegant buildings opposite, their facades framed by the lush canopy of surrounding trees. The scene is a harmonious blend of nature and architecture, a perfect representation of the idyllic setting that Joseph Paxton intended when he designed the park. The park covers an area of 200 acres, featuring a variety of landscapes, including woodlands, gardens, and open spaces. It was a groundbreaking initiative in its time, as public parks were previously the preserve of the wealthy. The opening of Birkenhead Park marked a significant shift towards the belief that access to green spaces should be a right, not a privilege. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the simple pleasure of a leisurely stroll by the lake was a cherished experience. The enduring beauty of Birkenhead Park continues to captivate visitors, making it a beloved destination for locals and tourists alike.
