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.

This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing a picturesque scene of Truck Hill in Probus, Cornwall. Standing on Fore Street, we are transported to an era where horse-drawn carts were the primary mode of transportation. The image showcases a charming slice of village life as it once was. In the foreground, a lady stands confidently in the middle of the road, cradling a baby in her arms. Two others strike poses for the camera nearby, their expressions hinting at a sense of pride and curiosity about this moment frozen in time. Behind them, we witness an enchanting sight: a cart pulled by two majestic horses slowly ascends Truck Hill towards the heart of this quaint Cornish village. The composition is beautifully framed by Victorian and Edwardian architecture that lines both sides of Fore Street.
