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 tranquil and secluded setting of Clouds Hill, the quaint cottage in Dorset, England, where the enigmatic Thomas Edward Lawrence, better known as Lawrence of Arabia, chose to retire in the late 1920s. The image, taken in the twilight of his remarkable life, shows the simple yet charming abode nestled among the rolling hills and lush greenery of Moreton, a picturesque village near Wool. Lawrence, a British archaeologist, soldier, intelligence officer, and writer, had gained international fame for his leadership during the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire during World War I. After leaving the Royal Air Force in 1935, he sought solace and privacy at Clouds Hill, away from the public eye. The cottage, with its thatched roof and ivy-covered walls, offered him the perfect sanctuary to live out his days in peace and seclusion. The photograph, taken in the 1920s, captures the essence of the idyllic English countryside and the quiet dignity of the man who had defied the odds and left an indelible mark on history. The image invites us to reflect on the life of this extraordinary individual, whose courage, intelligence, and determination continue to inspire generations.
