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 by David Hughes captures the essence of a forgotten era in rural England. The image showcases an overgrown telephone box, standing proudly amidst a lush green landscape. Its vibrant red color peeks through the encroaching ivy and towering tree branches, creating a striking contrast against nature's relentless growth. The photograph evokes a sense of nostalgia for traditional British communication methods, now overshadowed by modern technology. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when public telephones were lifelines for remote communities, connecting them to the outside world. In this abandoned state, the telephone box symbolizes both convenience and isolation. With no one around to utilize its services, it stands as a testament to the challenges faced in maintaining communication infrastructure in rural areas. As an iconic tourist destination within England's picturesque countryside, this scene also highlights the allure of exploring non-urban landscapes and discovering hidden gems off the beaten path. However, it also hints at potential problems encountered during such journeys – like communication breakdowns or encountering structures in bad condition. David Hughes' vertical composition beautifully captures this unique blend of history and nature reclaiming their space. Through his lens, he invites viewers to contemplate not only our evolving means of connection but also our relationship with time itself.
