17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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.

1. Title: A Timeless Tableau of Maritime History: Birkenhead Docks in the 1950s 2.. Step back in time with this evocative black-and-white photograph capturing the bustling scene at Birkenhead Docks in Merseyside, England during the 1950s. The image presents a captivating tableau of maritime history, as ships of various sizes and shapes gracefully come to rest against the dockside, their hulls reflecting the industrious spirit of Britain's historic waterfront. Located on the eastern side of the River Mersey, Birkenhead Docks have long been a vital hub for international trade and transportation, with Liverpool's famous docks just a stone's throw away. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, when the docks were teeming with activity, as cargo ships from around the world docked to unload their goods, and passengers disembarked from ocean liners to begin new lives in a land far from home. The ships in this scene, with their distinctive silhouettes and intricate rigging, are a testament to the engineering marvels of the era. Their presence also underscores the critical role that maritime transport played in shaping the economic, social, and cultural fabric of Britain during the mid-20th century. As you gaze upon this image, take a moment to appreciate the historical significance of Birkenhead Docks and the rich maritime heritage they represent. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when the world seemed smaller, and the promise of new opportunities lay just beyond the horizon.
