17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 Timeless Gaze: Penshaw Monument in the 1960s, Sunderland, County Durham, England 2.. The Penshaw Monument, a majestic landmark nestled in the picturesque landscape of Sunderland, County Durham, England, stands tall against the backdrop of the 1960s. This photograph, taken during this era, captures the monument in all its grandeur, showcasing the enduring beauty and historical significance that continues to captivate visitors to this day. Erected in 1844, the Penshaw Monument was built to commemorate the 2nd Earl of Durham, John George Lambton, and his wife, Lady Elizabeth, who were instrumental in the reformation of the coal mining industry in the region. Designed by Sir Hume Blanton, the monument is a fusion of classical Greek and Roman architectural influences, with Doric columns supporting a pedestal that houses a statue of the Earl and his wife. As the sun sets over the rolling hills, the monument casts a long, dramatic shadow, emphasizing its impressive scale and the vastness of the surrounding landscape. The 1960s, a period of significant social and cultural change, serves as an intriguing contrast to the monument's timeless beauty and historical significance. This photograph, a window into the past, invites us to reflect on the rich history of the Penshaw Monument and its continued relevance in the ever-evolving tapestry of Sunderland and County Durham. The monument's enduring presence serves as a reminder of the region's proud heritage and the importance of preserving historical landmarks for future generations.
