Aerial Chimney Dundee United Jute Planning Reconstruction
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
This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of Hilltown, Dundee in 1969. The image, captured by the Aerofilms Archive as part of the National Collection of Aerial Photography (NCAP), offers a unique perspective on this historic town in Angus, Scotland. Facing northwards, we are presented with a bird's-eye view that showcases the rich tapestry of life unfolding below. From towering mills and chimneys to bustling streets and residential areas, every detail tells a story of industry and community. The photograph also highlights significant landmarks such as Tannadice Park, home to Dundee United Football Club. Its presence serves as a reminder of the passion for sports that has always been deeply ingrained within this town's culture. In addition to capturing everyday life in Hilltown during this era, the image hints at ongoing reconstruction and planning efforts. The jute industry played a crucial role in shaping Dundee's history, and its influence is evident through various structures like Maxwelltown Tower, Carnegie Tower, Wellington Tower, and Jamaica Tower. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time from over five decades ago, it invites contemplation about how much has changed since then. It reminds us to cherish our heritage while embracing progress and transformation that continue to shape places like Hilltown today.
