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
Step into the bustling heart of Hull, Northern Yorkshire, in this evocative 1930s poster by Val Doone for The Travel Association. The image transports us back in time to the thriving port city on the shores of the Humber Estuary in Humberside. The Docks of Hull come alive with the hustle and bustle of import and export activity. Boats and ships of all sizes dot the water, their masts reaching towards the sky as they wait their turn to be unloaded or loaded with goods. Cranes tower overhead, their long arms extending to grasp containers and cargo, symbolizing the vital role Hull played in Britain's maritime trade during the 1930s. The sepia tones of the poster add to the historical feel, transporting us back to a bygone era. The coastline and the vast expanse of the sea in the background provide a sense of the raw power and beauty of nature, while the city's industrial might is showcased through the intricate details of the boats and cranes. Val Doone's masterful use of perspective and composition draws the viewer into the scene, inviting us to explore the vibrant and bustling world of Hull's Docks. This poster is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of this northern port city, and a reminder of the important role it played in Britain's maritime heritage.
