It is widely accepted as the most traditional way to frame photography, giving visual priority to the image and yet fitting stylishly into most interiors. Please note that prices include UK VAT but excludes framing and shipping costs.

Artwork In Detail
In 1960, while on assignment, René Burri produced one of the defining images of his career. Commissioned to document the rapid industrialisation transforming the countryside around São Paulo, he ascended a skyscraper and encountered a city in full motion—its dense, restless energy unfolding beneath him.
