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 showcases the front view of Henry Martin's home, known as "Woodbury" located at Woodbury Point on the picturesque River Fal in Kea, Cornwall. The photograph dates back to the early 1900s and was captured by renowned photographer Arthur Philp. It is worth noting that the original glass plate negative spelled the name of this remarkable residence as "Woodberry". However, historical records confirm its correct spelling as "Woodbury". Henry Martin, born on February 18th, 1981, in Truro, Cornwall, led a fascinating life as an Anglican priest and missionary. Educated at Truro Grammar School and St John's College in Cambridge, he later became a chaplain for the British East India Company. His dedication to his work saw him translating significant religious texts into various languages such as Urdu, Persian, and Judaeo-Persic. Among his notable translations were the entire New Testament into these languages along with rendering Psalms into Persian and adapting the Book of Common Prayer into Urdu. This image not only captures a glimpse of Henry Martin's beautiful abode but also serves as a window into Victorian and Edwardian-era architecture prevalent in Cornwall during that time. The serene backdrop of Woodbury Point against the tranquil River Fal adds further charm to this historic photograph from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection.
