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
Aldeburgh Beach, Aldeburgh, Suffolk: A Timeless Maritime Scene by John Gay (1977) This evocative photograph captures the essence of Aldeburgh Beach in Suffolk, England, as it has been for generations. Taken by renowned photographer John Gay in 1977, the image portrays a fisherman at the water's edge, tipping the contents of a wicker basket into the sea. The silhouette of the figure, framed against the backdrop of the setting sun, adds a sense of drama and mystery to the scene. The gulls overhead, their wings outstretched, add a dynamic element to the composition, as they wheel and cry above the shoreline. The sea, with its frothy white waves and distinct sea mark, serves as a reminder of the power and ever-changing nature of the natural world. The image is a testament to the enduring relationship between the people of Aldeburgh and the sea. For centuries, the town's inhabitants have made their living from the sea, and this photograph captures a moment in time that speaks to the rhythms and traditions of a maritime community. John Gay's masterful use of light and shadow, as well as his keen eye for composition, make this photograph a timeless work of art. It invites us to reflect on the beauty and power of the natural world, and the resilience and determination of those who live and work by the sea.
