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 showcases a County Map of County Durham, dating back to approximately 1777. A true relic from The Large English Atlas: or, a new set of maps of all the counties of England and Wales, this piece was meticulously drawn from various surveys published at that time. Created by esteemed cartographers Emanuel Bowen, Thomas Kitchin, and others, this antique map offers an intriguing glimpse into the past. The map encompasses the diverse regions within County Durham, including notable towns such as Darlington, Stockton-on-Tees, Billingham, Peterlee, Newton Aycliffe, Bishop Auckland, Consett, Chester-le-Street Seaham Stanley Spennymoor Crook. Each town is intricately depicted with its unique landmarks and features.
