Boat Coast Maritime Ship Wreck
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 by Peter Williams takes us back to the year 1926, capturing a haunting scene of the Wreck of the Falcon N100299 at Langdon Steps in Dover, Kent. The image offers a unique perspective as we look down onto the wreck from above, revealing both its grandeur and devastation. In this frame, our eyes are drawn not only to the wreck itself but also to the contrasting presence of a majestic yacht and a cross-channel ferry in the distance. These vessels symbolize life and movement against the backdrop of tragedy. It is an eerie reminder that even amidst chaos, life continues on. The maritime theme resonates strongly throughout this photograph; it speaks volumes about man's relationship with nature's unpredictable forces. The shipwreck stands as a testament to human vulnerability when faced with the mighty power of the sea. Peter Williams skillfully captures every detail, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty and melancholy within this scene. His composition invites contemplation on themes such as impermanence and resilience. As we gaze upon this striking image, let us reflect on how history has shaped our present-day coastal landscapes while acknowledging those who have braved treacherous waters before us. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that beneath calm seas lie stories untold - tales of triumphs and tragedies forever etched into maritime history.
