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
Captured in the midst of a winter wonderland, this breathtaking print showcases walls of solid snow, towering above the average man's height. These majestic structures lead into the enchanting town of Llantwit Major from Llanmaes, revealing a scene straight out of a fairytale. Taken on the 22nd of February in 1978, shortly after this village was accessible to traffic once again, it encapsulates an era when extreme weather conditions brought both awe and challenges. The Vale of Glamorgan in Wales experienced an unforgettable blizzard during that fateful winter season. The severity of the cold resulted in drifts so immense that they formed these magnificent walls along the path. Against all odds, one brave soul can be seen venturing through this snowy labyrinth with determination etched upon his face. This image serves as a powerful reminder of nature's might and resilience. It transports us back to a time when winters were truly harsh and unforgiving. As we gaze upon this frozen landscape, we are reminded to appreciate our modern comforts and marvel at those who braved such severe conditions. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints from Western Mail Archive, this photograph allows us to step into history for just a moment – immersing ourselves in an extraordinary winter scene that will forever remain etched within our memories.
