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
This evocative image captures the moment the Canterbury Pilgrims, led by Geoffrey Chaucer's fictional group of characters, depart from the Tabard Inn in Southwark, London, embarking on their spiritual journey towards the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket in Canterbury, Kent. The year is circa 1387, and the scene is set against the picturesque backdrop of the English countryside. The Tabard Inn, a popular resting place for travelers, is depicted in the foreground, its timber-framed structure nestled among the lush greenery. The pilgrims, dressed in the attire of the late medieval period, are seen mounting their horses or preparing to continue their journey on foot. Their expressions convey a sense of anticipation and determination, as they set out on their pilgrimage. Chaucer's seminal work, "The Canterbury Tales," is believed to have been inspired by this journey and the diverse group of pilgrims he encountered during his own travels. The tales, which were published posthumously in the late 14th century, have since become a cornerstone of English literature, offering a vivid and entertaining portrayal of life in medieval England. As the pilgrims leave Southwark and head northwest towards Canterbury, they would have passed through the rolling hills and verdant landscapes of Kent, taking in the sights and sounds of the English countryside. This image invites us to join them on their journey, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring allure of the stories that Chaucer left behind.
