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 aerial print showcases the hauntingly beautiful Abandoned Island of St Kilda, located in the Western Isles of Scotland. Taken in 1995 by the Royal Commission on The Ancient And Historical Monuments Of Scotland, this image captures the essence of a forgotten world. The rugged cliffs and jagged ridges that dominate the landscape are a testament to nature's raw power and resilience. The ruins scattered across the island tell tales of a once-thriving community that called this remote place home for thousands of years. Now abandoned, these remnants stand as silent witnesses to a way of life long gone. As we gaze upon this photograph, our imaginations transport us back in time to an era when St Kilda was teeming with life - bustling streets filled with laughter and stories echoing through its narrow alleys. Yet today, all that remains is an eerie stillness, broken only by the cries of seabirds soaring above. The isolation and harsh conditions endured by those who lived here make it difficult to comprehend their daily struggles. But amidst these challenges, they found solace in their deep connection with nature - finding sustenance from treacherous seas and forging unbreakable bonds within their tight-knit community. Through this poignant image captured from above, we are reminded not only of our own impermanence but also how nature reclaims what humanity leaves behind. It serves as a powerful reminder that even though civilizations may rise and fall, there will always be traces left behind for future generations to
