Colchester, Essex, UK, aerial photograph
Colchester, Essex, UK, aerial photograph. North is at top. Colchester is said to be the oldest recorded town in Britain, as it was mentioned as Camulodunum by the Roman writer Pliny the Elder in 77AD. It is older than this, however, as it was the seat of Cunobelinus (Cymbeline) from around 10AD, and would have existed before he came to power. Modern Colchester has a population of around 160, 000. It lies around 87 kilometres north-east of London, to which it is linked by the A12 road, which is seen running from top right to centre left

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.
