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: "A Serene Oasis in the Heart of Pimlico: Dolphin Square Gardens, North, 1956" 2. Description: This evocative photograph captures the tranquil beauty of Dolphin Square Gardens in Pimlico, London, as seen from the north in 1956. The image showcases a lush, green expanse of meticulously maintained gardens, dotted with mature trees, vibrant flowers, and a serene pond teeming with playful dolphins. The modernist apartment buildings of Dolphin Square, designed by architects Powell and Moya, can be glimpsed in the background, their clean lines and geometric shapes providing a striking contrast to the natural splendor of the gardens. 3. Context: Dolphin Square, a large complex of flats and apartments, was built between 1935 and 1938, offering modern, affordable housing for Londoners. The gardens, which cover approximately 1.5 acres, were designed by Thomas Mawson and opened in 1937. They were intended to provide residents with a much-needed respite from the hustle and bustle of urban life, offering a peaceful retreat where they could relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. 4. Significance: This photograph, taken in 1956, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the gardens in their prime. The image not only highlights the architectural and horticultural achievements of the time but also serves as a reminder of the importance of green spaces in urban environments. The presence of the dolphins in the pond adds a touch of whimsy and delight, making this photograph a cherished reminder of the past and a testament to the enduring appeal of nature in the heart of the city. 5.
