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
This print captures the end of an era in Billingham, County Durham. The image showcases the iconic ICI CCF plant on Haverton Hill Road, standing tall against a backdrop of industrial prowess. Taken on April 30th, 1993, this photograph immortalizes the moment when this symbol of British manufacturing and chemical industry began its journey towards demolition. The sheer magnitude of the plant is awe-inspiring; it dominates the landscape with its imposing structure next to A19 and Portrack Lane. Its significance cannot be understated as it represents decades of innovation and economic growth in the North East region. Ian McIntyre's lens perfectly encapsulates both the grandeur and melancholy surrounding this scene. The faded colors evoke nostalgia for a bygone era while simultaneously reminding us that progress often comes at a cost. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of ICI's legacy but also of Stockton-on-Tees' rich industrial history. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that change is inevitable, even for giants like Imperial Chemical Industries. Without mentioning commercial use or delving into corporate details, McIntyre's photo allows us to reflect on how industries shape our communities and leave lasting imprints on our landscapes. It invites viewers to contemplate how these structures become woven into our collective memory before eventually fading away like ghosts from another time.
