23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 takes us back in time to the picturesque village of Midhurst on a seemingly tranquil day. The date is etched as 28 August 1947, and it appears to be early morning or perhaps an early closing day, as the street stands eerily quiet. The focal point of this charming scene is the prominent Westminster Bank building, standing tall with its classic architecture and timeless elegance. Adjacent to the bank lies the Wheatsheaf Inn, a quintessential English pub that exudes warmth and hospitality. Its inviting facade beckons passersby to step inside for a refreshing pint or a cozy meal. As we explore further into this snapshot of history, our eyes are drawn towards two commercial signs that catch our attention - one belonging to Midhurst Engineering Works and another advertising an RAC Garage. The atmosphere captured in this photograph transports us back in time when life moved at a slower pace, where villagers would gather at local establishments like these after their daily routines. It's fascinating how much has changed since then; however, some things remain constant - the charm of small-town living and community spirit. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office Ref No. Garland N28670, this image serves as a reminder of bygone days while offering glimpses into Midhurst's rich heritage. Let us cherish these moments frozen in time as we appreciate both the beauty of simplicity and progress that shapes our present-day lives.
