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 essence of devotion and spirituality as pilgrims gather outside the Lourdes grotto in Hautes Pyrenees, France. The image showcases a large group of people from all walks of life, united by their faith and reverence for the Virgin Mary. Nestled within a natural cave formation, the Lourdes grotto holds great significance in Catholicism, believed to be the site where the Virgin Mary appeared to Saint Bernadette Soubirous in 1858. As visitors stand before this sacred space, they are enveloped by an atmosphere of tranquility and deep reflection. The statue of Mary stands prominently at the entrance of the grotto, her serene female likeness serving as a symbol of hope and solace for those seeking spiritual healing. Candles flicker softly around her feet, illuminating both faces filled with fervent prayers and expressions touched by divine grace. The breathtaking beauty of Lourdes is enhanced by its picturesque surroundings – rugged rocks jutting out against a backdrop of stunning landscapes. This photograph perfectly encapsulates not only religious devotion but also highlights how travel can intertwine with one's personal beliefs. As viewers engage with this powerful image captured by Godong/Robert Harding, they are transported to this sacred pilgrimage site themselves - feeling inspired by both human representation and nature's grandeur. It serves as a reminder that regardless of our individual backgrounds or beliefs, we can find unity through shared experiences rooted in faith and spirituality.
