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 evocative photograph, taken by Patricia Payne and titled "Southend-on-Sea, Essex. Marine Parade at night, from south west," transports us back in time to the magical world of Southend-on-Sea's amusement park in the 1950s. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where the twinkling lights of the fairground rides and attractions illuminate the night sky, casting a dreamlike glow over the seafront. The photograph was taken from a south-westerly perspective, looking out over the Marine Parade towards the Thames Estuary. The iconic pier, with its distinctive red and white stripes, stretches out into the dark waters, a beacon of light and excitement. The Ferris wheel, with its brightly lit carriages, looms large in the background, offering a bird's-eye view of the bustling scene below. The image is filled with a sense of wonder and excitement, as families and couples stroll along the promenade, taking in the sights and sounds of the fairground. The air is filled with the sweet scent of popcorn and candyfloss, mingling with the salty tang of the sea. The sound of laughter and excitement fills the air, as children cling to their parents' hands, wide-eyed with wonder at the magical world around them. The photograph is a testament to the power of memory and the enduring appeal of the British seaside holiday. It reminds us of simpler times, when life moved at a slower pace, and the world seemed a little bit more magical. Whether you're a local or a visitor, this photograph is sure to stir the senses and transport you back to a time when life was a little bit brighter and a lot more fun.
