31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 majestic ruins of Restormel Castle in Lanlivery Parish, Cornwall, around 1925. The castle holds a rich history as it was repaired and garrisoned by the Parliamentary army during the Civil War. However, it was later stormed and taken for the King by Sir Richard Grenville. The image is a glass lantern slide from a lecture titled "Some Historic Cornish Beauty Spots" given by Major Arthur William Gill, an esteemed Cornishman and amateur photographer. Major Gill gained recognition throughout Cornwall and beyond during the 1920s and 1930s for his presentations of stills and cine film to various groups including The Royal Institution of Cornwall, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and the London Cornish Society. What makes this particular photograph even more remarkable is that Major Gill hand-painted these quarter plate slides with vibrant colors to enhance their visual impact. His artistic touch brings out the beauty of Restormel Castle's crumbling walls against a picturesque backdrop. This print not only captures an iconic landmark but also represents Major Gill's dedication to preserving Cornish heritage through his lens. It serves as a testament to his passion for photography and his desire to share historic treasures like Restormel Castle with audiences far and wide.
