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
This enchanting print depicts St. George's Church in Beckenham, Kent, a charming rural parish church located in the south-east London area, dating back to the late 1700s. The image, estimated to have been created around the 1780s, captures the essence of a bygone era, with its quaint country setting and peaceful scene. The church, dedicated to St. George, stands proudly at the center of the composition, its elegant stone structure adorned with intricate details and ornate carvings. The steeple, a distinctive feature of the church, is still intact at this point, adding height and grandeur to the building. The churchyard is dotted with trees, providing a tranquil backdrop for the scene. The print also showcases the rural surroundings of the church, with a narrow country lane leading up to it, and a shepherd and his herd of sheep in the foreground. The shepherd, dressed in traditional attire, is shown tending to his flock, while his dog keeps a watchful eye. The people of the community would have walked along this very lane to attend services at the church. The table and book lying on the grass in the foreground add an interesting detail to the print, suggesting that a sermon or prayer may have been taking place. The overall effect of this print is one of serenity and calm, transporting the viewer back in time to a simpler, more peaceful era.
