FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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.

1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: North Cray Roadside Milestone, Circa 1900 This evocative black-and-white lantern slide captures the North Cray Roadside Milestone, located on the grass verge of North Cray in Kent, England. The image, part of the Boswell Collection, dates back to approximately 1900, offering a fascinating glimpse into the local history and topography of the area. The milestone, a relic of the past, stands proudly on the side of the road, its weathered surface bearing the inscriptions "4 miles to Farningham" and "1 mile to Foots Cray." These markings served as crucial navigational aids for travelers in the early 1900s, helping them keep track of their distance and location as they journeyed through the picturesque countryside. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush, green grass, with the milestone appearing as a stark, stone contrast. The absence of modern vehicles and buildings in the image further emphasizes the historical significance of this humble roadside landmark. The North Cray Roadside Milestone is a testament to the rich history and character of the Sidcup and Bexley area. Its enduring presence, despite the passage of time, serves as a reminder of the region's past and the stories that lie hidden within its landscapes. This lantern slide invites us to explore the sights and sounds of a bygone era, transporting us back to a time when travel was an adventure and milestones like this one marked the way.
