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 captures the haunting remains of a man's body plaster cast inside the Macellum, an ancient marketplace in Pompeii. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this location holds immense historical significance and offers a glimpse into the tragic events that unfolded here centuries ago. The close-up shot showcases the intricate details of the plaster cast, revealing the agony and despair etched on the man's face. The white color of the cast starkly contrasts against its surroundings, emphasizing both its eerie beauty and somber nature. Pompeii itself is renowned for being frozen in time due to the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of that fateful day when life came to an abrupt end for many inhabitants. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness history firsthand. The horizontal composition allows us to appreciate every aspect of this human representation preserved by volcanic ash. As we contemplate this powerful photograph, we cannot help but reflect on our own mortality and how fragile life can be. It serves as a testament to both our fascination with ancient civilizations and our shared humanity across generations. Peter Barritt/Robert Harding has skillfully captured not only an archaeological artifact but also emotions frozen in time – reminding us that even amidst tragedy, there is still profound beauty worth preserving.
