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
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking beauty and historical significance of St Albans Abbey's west front, as it appeared in the late 1800s before the additions made by Grimthorpe in the early 1880s. Located in the heart of St Albans, Hertfordshire, this magnificent Gothic abbey has stood as a testament to faith and architectural mastery for over 800 years. The west front, with its intricately carved stonework, towering gothic arches, and ornate rose window, is a visual feast for the eyes. The sepia toning of this photograph adds to the sense of timelessness and nostalgia, transporting us back to an era when horse-drawn carriages were the primary mode of transportation and the Industrial Revolution was transforming the world around us. St Albans Abbey, also known as the Cathedral and Abbey Church of Saint Albana, has a rich history that dates back to the 11th century. It was founded by the monks of the Abbey of Monte Cassino and has been a place of pilgrimage and worship for centuries. The abbey was originally built to honor St Alban, the first British Christian martyr, who was said to have lived in the area during the 3rd or 4th century. This photograph is a reminder of the architectural and historical treasures that can be found in Hertfordshire and beyond. It invites us to pause and reflect on the beauty and significance of our past, while also inspiring us to appreciate the architectural wonders that continue to shape our world today.
