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
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of discovery and exploration as a group of young archaeology students delve into the past at the ancient Roman amphitheatre site in Chester, Cheshire, England during the 1960s. Dressed in practical attire and armed with pickaxes and shovels, these intrepid scholars are hard at work uncovering the remnants of the once grand Roman amphitheatre, a testament to the rich history of Britain's ancient past. The sense of excitement and anticipation is palpable as the students carefully sift through the earth, searching for clues and artifacts that will help piece together the story of this remarkable archaeological site. The sun casts long shadows over the field, adding an air of mystery and intrigue as the students work diligently to uncover the secrets of the past. The Roman amphitheatre at Chester is a significant historical site, with evidence suggesting that it was built around AD 70-80 and could seat up to 8,000 spectators. It is believed to have been used for a variety of entertainment and cultural events, including gladiatorial contests, public spectacles, and theatrical performances. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the important role that archaeology plays in preserving and understanding our shared history. The young archaeologists in this image are not only unearthing the physical remains of the past, but they are also contributing to our collective knowledge and appreciation of the rich cultural heritage that has shaped our world.
