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 James O. Davies transports us back in time to the vibrant seaside town of Southport, Merseyside. The image captures a fascinating detail of a mosaic sign for the iconic Victoria Sea Water Baths at Southport Esplanade, showcasing the rich history and charm of this beloved coastal destination.
The mosaic sign, meticulously crafted with intricate patterns and vivid colors, serves as a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that was prevalent during its era. It proudly displays the name "Victoria Sea Water Baths," evoking memories of joyous days spent by locals and visitors alike, seeking respite from the summer heat in these refreshing waters.
As we delve into this snapshot from Liverpool's past through Davies' lens, we are reminded of how important such communal spaces were for leisure and recreation in earlier times. The Victoria Sea Water Baths would have been bustling with activity; children splashing gleefully in the water while families gathered on deckchairs along the esplanade, creating cherished memories that would last a lifetime.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph also holds historical significance as it documents an integral part of Southport's heritage. It allows us to reflect upon how our relationship with public spaces has evolved over time while appreciating their enduring importance within our communities.
Davies' expertly captured image invites us to explore not only the architectural beauty but also sparks curiosity about what life was like during those halcyon days when sea baths were at their peak popularity. Through his lens, we can almost hear echoes of laughter and feel a sense of nostalgia for simpler times spent under sunny skies beside these historic waters.
