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
In this print captured by Jeff Haynes, the majestic "Windy II" sailboat gracefully glides past the iconic Chicago skyline on a windy day in July 2003. The city of Chicago proudly plays host to the largest Tall Ship festival ever witnessed in the Great Lakes region. As more than 25 magnificent vessels embark on Lake Michigan's shores, they set the stage for an extraordinary event. The image beautifully juxtaposes nature and urban architecture, showcasing both the power of wind propelling the sailboat and the towering skyscrapers that define Chicago's skyline. The Windy II seems almost ethereal against this backdrop, its sails billowing as it navigates through shimmering waters. This photograph encapsulates a moment where history meets modernity; where tradition intertwines with contemporary life. It serves as a reminder of how cities can embrace their rich maritime heritage while embracing progress and innovation. Jeff Haynes' lens captures not only a stunning visual spectacle but also evokes emotions of awe and admiration for these grand ships sailing into Chicago's harbor. This remarkable gathering is a testament to human ingenuity, celebrating our ability to conquer vast bodies of water with grace and elegance. As we gaze upon this vertical masterpiece, we are reminded that beauty lies not only within architectural marvels but also in nature's wonders – here represented by Windy II – harmoniously coexisting amidst an urban landscape.
