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.

Industrial Decay - A Glimpse into the Forgotten Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to June 1981, capturing the haunting beauty of the derelict Singer Sewing machine factory in Dundee. Once a bustling hub of industry and innovation, this iconic building stands as a testament to an era long gone. The closure of this factory was not merely a result of financial struggles or mismanagement; it marked a turning point in history. The flood of cheap imports from the far-east had dealt a devastating blow to local industries, forcing many factories like this one to shut their doors forever. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost hear the echoes of sewing machines humming and workers bustling about their daily tasks. It serves as a poignant reminder that behind every abandoned building lies countless stories and livelihoods lost. The dilapidated walls bear witness to decades of hard work and dedication that once thrived within these very halls. Today, nature has claimed its territory with vines creeping through broken windows and weeds reclaiming what was once man-made. Yet amidst the decay, there is an undeniable allure—a melancholic charm that draws us closer. This photograph invites us to reflect on our ever-changing world and reminds us that progress often comes at a cost. Let this snapshot transport you back in time, allowing your imagination to wander through forgotten corridors and faded memories—immersing yourself in an era when sewing machines were crafted with care by skilled hands.
