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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken around 1890, showcases the picturesque scene of the River Thames at Whitchurch near Pangbourne in Oxfordshire. The image, captured from the toll bridge, offers a tranquil view across the Mill Pond, with its calm, reflective surface mirroring the red-brick cottages that line the water's edge. The old mill, just out of shot to the left, adds to the historic charm of the scene. At the heart of the image, the tower of St Mary's church stands proudly, its Gothic architecture a striking contrast against the pastoral backdrop. The serene atmosphere is further enhanced by the lush greenery that surrounds the scene, with trees and vegetation providing a beautiful frame for this idyllic riverside setting. This photograph was produced using the Photochrom process, a popular method for creating colourised images during the late 1800s. The result is a vibrant, detailed representation of a bygone era, transporting us back in time to a simpler, more peaceful moment in history. The photograph's rich, authentic colours and intricate details make it an exquisite addition to any collection, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring beauty of the English countryside.
