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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1900, capturing a moment in time at Salters Bros. boatyard in Oxford, Oxfordshire. The image beautifully frames Folly Bridge as it stretches across the serene Thames River, providing a picturesque backdrop for this historic scene. Established in 1858 by the Salter Brothers, this boatyard was not only a place of industry but also a hub of community activity. In this particular snapshot, we witness an extraordinary event that has drawn a large crowd of Victorian-era onlookers. Their eager faces reflect anticipation and excitement as they gather to witness the launching of a lifeboat into the glistening waters below. Photographer Henry Taunt masterfully captures both the grandeur of the river and the sense of camaraderie among those present. The composition allows us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty of Folly Bridge but also highlights how integral boats were to everyday life during this era. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time – imagining ourselves amidst these curious spectators who have come together to marvel at such an important occasion. It serves as a reminder that history is not just about buildings or objects; it is about people coming together to celebrate moments that shape their lives and communities. Henry Taunt's skillful lens immortalizes this significant event at Salters Bros. boatyard, forever preserving its importance within our collective memory
