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.

Morecambe Harbour and Central Pier, Lancashire, June 1933: A Bird's Eye View of a Bygone Era This evocative photograph, taken in the summer of 1933, captures the essence of Morecambe Harbour and Central Pier in Lancashire from an aerial perspective. The image, captured by the skilled photographers of Aerofilms Ltd, offers a unique and captivating perspective of this iconic coastal scene. Morecambe Harbour, with its intricate network of channels and docks, is a hive of maritime activity. The harbour, once a thriving hub for the fishing industry, is still home to a number of working boats and yachts. The docks, lined with cranes and warehouses, bear testament to the area's rich maritime history. Central Pier, a landmark of Morecambe's seafront, stretches out into the Irish Sea like a graceful finger. Opened in 1897, the pier has long been a popular destination for visitors, offering amusements, food stalls, and stunning views of the bay. In this photograph, the pier appears as a slender line against the backdrop of the shimmering bay, with the rolling waves lapping at its base. The photograph also reveals the extent of the sandy beach, which stretches out to meet the harbour. The beach, a favourite spot for sunbathing, swimming, and picnicking, is a testament to the area's popularity as a seaside resort. This photograph, with its intriguing details and captivating composition, offers a glimpse into a bygone era. It invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of Morecambe Harbour and Central Pier in the 1930s, and to appreciate the enduring charm of this historic coastal town.
