1830 Cave Scot Land Staffa Visiting
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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
Step into the enchanting world of Staffa's Fingals Cave, a natural marvel located off the western coast of Scotland. This photograph, taken circa 1830, invites us to explore the historical significance and breathtaking beauty of this iconic site. The interior of Fingals Cave is a labyrinth of hexagonal basalt columns, formed over thousands of years by volcanic activity. The unique geological formation has long been a source of fascination and inspiration, drawing visitors from around the world. As we delve deeper into the cave, we can imagine the footsteps of those who came before us, including the famous composer Mendelssohn, who visited in 1829 and was inspired to write his Hebrides Overture. The haunting melodies of the overture still echo through the cave today, adding to its mystical allure. The walls of the cave are adorned with intricate patterns of light and shadow, casting an ethereal glow over the basalt formations. The still, clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean reflect the natural beauty of the cave, creating a scene that seems almost otherworldly. Despite its remote location, Fingals Cave has a rich history, with evidence of human occupation dating back to the Neolithic period. The cave was also a popular destination for early tourists, who traveled by boat to explore its wonders. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era when the natural world held a greater mystique and allure. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving these natural wonders for future generations to enjoy and be inspired by.
