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
1. Title: "A Timeless Gaze: Blackpool's Towering Pride through the Circle of Life" Amidst the vibrant coastal landscape of Blackpool, Lancashire, a captivating scene unfolds in this mid-20th century photograph by the renowned British photographer, John Gay. The image, titled "Blackpool, A047903," invites us to take a leisurely stroll down memory lane, as we witness the mesmerizing blend of nature and human ingenuity that once defined the quintessential British seaside resort. At the heart of this evocative image lies the iconic Blackpool Tower, a testament to the town's rich heritage and architectural grandeur. The tower, a symbol of Blackpool's proud past, stands tall against the backdrop of the vast, expansive sea. Its distinctive silhouette, framed by the circular ring of a life buoy on the central pier, adds a sense of depth and perspective to the scene. The gentle curve of the beach, dotted with sunbathers and families enjoying their day out, stretches out before us, inviting us to imagine the laughter, joy, and memories created on this sandy shore. The tranquil waters, shimmering under the sun, reflect the vibrant hues of the surrounding landscape, creating a breathtaking tableau of color and light. This photograph, with its poignant composition and evocative imagery, serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring allure of the British coast and the simple pleasures of a day at the seaside. Through the lens of John Gay, we are granted a glimpse into a bygone era, where the circle of life, represented by the unending cycle of the tides, continues to embrace and nurture the timeless spirit of Blackpool.
