17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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
In this print captured by Marcel Mochet, the majestic Norwegian three-master "Sorlandet" gracefully arrives in Saint-Malo on 20 July 1999. The ship's arrival marks its participation in the highly anticipated "Cutty Sark" race for tall ships, set to take place on 24 July between Saint-Malo and Aalborg, Denmark. The image showcases the sheer grandeur of the Sorlandet as it sails into the picturesque city of Saint-Malo. Its towering masts and billowing sails create a striking contrast against the backdrop of historic buildings that line the waterfront. The square format of this digital image further accentuates the symmetrical beauty of both sailboat and city. This photograph encapsulates a moment where history meets modernity, as traditional sailing vessels compete in an exhilarating race amidst contemporary urban surroundings. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with maritime heritage and adventure. Marcel Mochet's skillful composition captures not only the physical presence but also evokes a sense of anticipation for what lies ahead – an epic challenge across vast waters. This stunning visual narrative transports viewers to a time when these magnificent ships ruled supreme on open seas. As an AFP photo, this remarkable print is testament to their commitment to delivering powerful imagery that tells stories without commercial intent or bias.
