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 takes us back in time to the bustling Fleetwood Docks in Lancashire, captured by Aerofilms Ltd in 1949. From a southwest perspective, we are granted an aerial view of both the Fish Dock and Wyre Dock, revealing a vibrant maritime scene that once thrived within these historic harbors. The image showcases the undeniable charm of this fishing town as it was during its heyday. The docks teem with activity; boats of all sizes dotting the water's surface while fishermen go about their daily routines. It is a snapshot frozen in time, offering a glimpse into an era when fishing played a vital role in sustaining local communities. The composition exudes nostalgia and authenticity, allowing us to appreciate not only the physical structures but also the intangible spirit that permeates these docks. The weathered wooden piers and quaint buildings stand as testaments to years of hard work and dedication. As we delve deeper into this print from Historic England Archive, we can't help but feel connected to those who came before us - individuals whose lives were intricately woven into the fabric of this maritime landscape. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and heritage, urging us to preserve and cherish such significant sites for future generations. In essence, this photograph encapsulates more than just bricks-and-mortar; it captures stories untold and memories yet discovered within Fleetwood Docks' rich tapestry.
