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.

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
Goblin Tower, once known as Pemberton's Parlour, is a historic landmark located in the heart of Chester, Cheshire, England. This photograph, taken in 1939, captures the unique and intriguing structure that stands as a testament to the city's rich history. Pemberton's Parlour, named after the local ropemaker whose works once resided beneath the city walls, is believed to date back to the 13th century. The tower, with its distinctive conical shape and intricate stonework, was originally used as a lookout point and a place of refuge during times of siege. The ropemaker, whose name is lost to history, played a significant role in the economic prosperity of Chester during the Middle Ages. The production of ropes was a labor-intensive process, and the city's strategic location near the River Dee made it an ideal place for the trade of ropes and other textiles. The tower, which is said to be haunted by mischievous goblins or gnomes, has been a subject of local folklore for centuries. According to legend, the goblins would play pranks on unsuspecting travelers, leading them astray or playing tricks on them. Despite its small size, Goblin Tower is a beloved symbol of Chester's past. It stands as a reminder of the city's rich history, its connection to the ropemaking industry, and the enduring power of local folklore. Today, it is a popular tourist attraction and a source of pride for the people of Chester.
