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
Step back in time to the vibrant and bustling Bull Ring Centre of Birmingham in the 1960s, as captured in this evocative photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library. The iconic Bull Ring Centre, a symbol of modernism and progress in the heart of the city, dates back to the 1910s but underwent a major redevelopment in the 1960s, transforming it into a modern retail hub. The architectural masterpiece, with its distinctive circular design and bold use of concrete and glass, stands proudly amidst the hustle and bustle of the busy high street. The image captures the essence of the era, with shoppers clad in fashionable 1960s attire browsing the shelves of the various shops, including the iconic Woolworth's department store, affectionately known as 'Woolies'. The limited edition print invites us to imagine the excitement and energy of a shopping trip to the Bull Ring Centre during this transformative decade. The Bull Ring Centre, located in the West Midlands, was a pioneering example of modernist architecture in Birmingham and a significant landmark in the city's commercial and cultural history. This photograph, taken in 1964, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Bull Ring Centre was at the forefront of retail innovation and the epitome of urban sophistication. A must-have for history enthusiasts, architectural aficionados, and anyone with a fondness for the 1960s, this print is a captivating addition to any collection.
