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
Step into the serene atmosphere of a centuries-old Catholic tradition with this stunning photograph of a Latin Missal from Saint Gervais in Haute Savoie, France. The intricate details of the ancient book's cover and pages are captured in vivid color, inviting viewers to explore the rich history and symbolism within.
The missal's worn leather binding creaks open to reveal yellowed pages filled with Latin script, adorned with ornate illustrations and gilded lettering. A delicate crucifix hangs suspended above the text, its cross gleaming against the soft light that filters through the stained glass windows.
In this intimate close-up shot, photographer Godong/Robert Harding masterfully captures the tactile quality of these sacred texts, drawing attention to every crease and fold. The selective focus adds depth and dimensionality to the image, guiding our gaze across the intricate patterns and symbols etched onto each page.
This photograph is not just a visual representation of a historical artifact but an invitation to step into a world where faith and devotion have been woven together for centuries. As we examine every detail – from the way light reflects off polished wood to the subtle wear on aged parchment – we are reminded of the enduring power of Catholicism's rich traditions.
