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
In this thought-provoking print captured by Hannah McKay, we are confronted with the omnipresent gaze of a surveillance camera in the bustling Kings Cross area of London. The image serves as a stark reminder of our increasingly monitored society and raises questions about privacy, security, and the balance between them. The composition is strikingly simple yet impactful. Against the backdrop of an urban landscape, the camera stands tall and unyielding, its lens fixated on passersby like an unwavering sentinel. Its presence evokes mixed emotions - a sense of protection for some, while others may feel uneasy under its watchful eye. McKay's skillful use of lighting adds to the dramatic effect; shadows cast by nearby buildings create an eerie atmosphere that heightens our awareness. We cannot help but wonder who is behind those lenses and what purpose they serve – safeguarding public spaces or infringing upon personal liberties? This photograph compels us to reflect on how technology has reshaped our modern existence. It prompts us to question whether we have willingly sacrificed elements of our privacy in exchange for safety and convenience. As viewers engage with this image, it invites introspection into broader societal issues surrounding surveillance culture. Ultimately, McKay's photograph acts as a visual catalyst for dialogue about individual rights within contemporary urban environments where cameras silently observe every move we make.
