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
In this aerial photograph, Fratton Park in Portsmouth, Hampshire, comes alive with the vibrant energy of recreation and sport. Taken in July 1957, the image offers a unique bird's-eye view of the historic football ground, home to Portsmouth Football Club. The meticulously manicured pitch stands out in lush green, surrounded by the terraces and grandstands that encircle it. The terraces, a sea of activity, are filled with an enthusiastic crowd, their cheers and chants carried by the wind. The urban landscape beyond the stadium is a charming blend of post-war development and greenery. The neat rows of houses and the winding roads create a mosaic of order amidst the natural beauty of the parkland that surrounds the ground. The Portsmouth Harbour, a bustling hub of maritime activity, glimmers in the distance, adding to the rich tapestry of the scene. Fratton Park, a symbol of community and tradition, has been a source of pride and joy for the people of Portsmouth for generations. This photograph, a snapshot of a moment in time, encapsulates the spirit of recreation and leisure that has long been associated with the iconic football ground. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when the simple pleasures of sport and community came together to create memories that last a lifetime.
