31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 East India Dock in 1962, offering a glimpse into London's bustling maritime history. Taken from an aerial perspective by Aerofilms Ltd, this image showcases the dock and its surroundings on the Isle of Dogs in Tower Hamlets. The view from the west reveals a vibrant harbor teeming with activity. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, our eyes are drawn to the intricate network of docks and piers that stretch out before us. Ships of various sizes and shapes line the quayside, their masts reaching towards the sky like proud sentinels guarding this vital port. The water sparkles under sunlight, reflecting a myriad of colors as it mirrors both vessels and buildings alike. The industrial landscape surrounding East India Dock is equally fascinating; warehouses stand tall along its perimeter, storing goods ready for export or import. Cranes dotting the skyline hint at ongoing loading and unloading operations that keep this hub alive day after day. This photograph serves as a testament to London's rich maritime heritage - a reminder of how crucial ports like East India Dock were for trade and commerce during that era. Preserved within Historic England Archive's collection, it allows us to appreciate not only the physical structures but also the human stories woven into these busy harbors throughout history.
