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 evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in the historic coastal town of Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk. Taken in August 1949 by renowned photographer Hallam Ashley, the image presents a tranquil scene of local life along the Quayside. At the heart of the image is the inshore fishing boat, the "William Edward," skillfully maneuvering to unload its catch of cockles. The boat's simple yet sturdy design reflects the traditional methods of Whelk fishing that have been practiced in this area for generations. The photograph is a testament to the close-knit community that thrived around the fishing industry in Wells-next-the-Sea. A small yet appreciative audience gathers on the Quayside, their expressions of interest and admiration adding to the sense of camaraderie and shared pride in the daily endeavors of the local fishermen. The water, shimmering under the sunlight, reflects the vibrant colors of the boats and the surrounding buildings, creating a harmonious blend of nature and human ingenuity. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the rich maritime history of Norfolk and the resilient spirit of the people who have lived and worked along its coastline for centuries. The simple act of unloading a boat's catch becomes a moment of connection between the community and the sea, a testament to the enduring bond between man and nature that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
