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
1. Title: "An Unusual Georgian Gothic Masterpiece: St. Mary the Virgin, Burgh St. Peter, Norfolk, England" 2.. This evocative photograph captures the striking and unusual appearance of St. Mary the Virgin Church in the picturesque village of Burgh St. Peter, Norfolk, England. Dating back to the late 18th century, this architectural marvel is a testament to the vision and ambition of its creator, Reverend Samuel Boycott. 3. In 1793, Rev. Boycott, who held the dual roles of lord of the manor and vicar of the parish, was granted a faculty by the Diocese of Norwich to rebuild or complete the church tower. His unique design, a fusion of Georgian and Gothic styles, resulted in an intriguing brick tower, each stage of which is smaller than those below, creating a distinctive and captivating silhouette against the Norfolk skyline. 4. The Georgian era, known for its grandeur and opulence, was not typically associated with the Gothic revival. However, Rev. Boycott's innovative design showcases the versatility and adaptability of architectural trends during this period. The resulting structure, with its pointed arches, intricate brickwork, and distinctive shape, stands as an unusual and possibly unique example of Georgian Gothick architecture. 5. This photograph, taken in the circa 1930s, offers a glimpse into the rich history and architectural significance of St. Mary the Virgin Church. Its enduring allure continues to draw visitors to Burgh St. Peter, a charming village steeped in history and tradition. 6. The intricacies of this architectural marvel invite further exploration and appreciation, making it a must-see destination for history buffs, architects, and anyone with a passion for the intriguing stories that lie hidden within the fabric of our built environment.
