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 print takes us back in time to the summer of 1959, capturing the vibrant energy and excitement of Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Located in Lancashire, this iconic resort and amusement park has been a beloved destination for thrill-seekers since its establishment in 1896. The aerial perspective offers a unique view of the sprawling park, showcasing its impressive array of rides and attractions. From roller coasters that twist and turn against the backdrop of a clear blue sky to colorful carousels spinning with laughter-filled riders, every corner seems to be filled with joyous moments waiting to be experienced. It is fascinating to learn that Blackpool Pleasure Beach served as an inspiration for none other than Disneyland itself. Just five years prior to this photograph being taken, Walt Disney opened his groundbreaking theme park in Anaheim, California. The influence is evident as we observe the layout and design elements reminiscent of both parks. As we gaze upon this historic image captured by Aerofilms Collection on behalf of Historic England, we are transported back in time to an era where simple pleasures brought immense happiness. It serves as a reminder that amidst all technological advancements and modernization, there will always be something magical about classic amusement parks like Blackpool Pleasure Beach – places where dreams come true and memories are made.
