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 a haunting scene of a shipwreck on the treacherous Goodwin Sands in Kent. Taken by Aerofilms Ltd in November 1948, this aerial shot showcases the wreckage of what is believed to be the "Luray Victory". The desolate and eerie atmosphere evokes a sense of mystery and tragedy. The Goodwin Sands have long been notorious for claiming numerous ships throughout history, serving as both a graveyard and testament to the perils faced by sailors. This photograph offers a glimpse into one such maritime disaster frozen in time. The skeletal remains of the ship jut out from beneath the waves, its rusted metal hull battered and worn by years of exposure to wind, waves, and saltwater. The surrounding waters are turbulent, hinting at the fierce conditions that led to this vessel's demise. As we gaze upon this image from Historic England Archive, we can't help but wonder about the stories hidden within these decaying fragments. Who were those aboard? What was their journey? And how did they find themselves stranded amidst these unforgiving sands? This print serves as an important reminder of our fragile relationship with nature's elements and pays homage to those who lost their lives at sea. It stands as a poignant tribute to both human resilience and vulnerability against forces beyond our control.
