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: "Concarneau Harbour, France - The Unloading of the Tuna Fleet: A Glance into the Past" Concarneau Harbour, France, circa 1930: A captivating photograph that transports us back in time, showcasing the unloading process of the historic tuna fleet. The quaint, picturesque harbour of Concarneau, nestled in the heart of Brittany, France, is a testament to the rich maritime history and the enduring tradition of tuna fishing. The image reveals a bustling quayside, where the fishing boats - their sails furled and masts lowered - are moored alongside the stone wall. The high tide gently laps against the boats, creating a serene reflection on the water's surface. The fishermen, dressed in their traditional Breton attire, work diligently to unload the precious catch from the boats. The tuna, having been skillfully harpooned and brought aboard, are carefully transported to the quay in large baskets. The men, with their strong, calloused hands, expertly maneuver the heavy loads, passing them down the line to their fellow fishermen. The air is filled with the distinct, pungent aroma of the freshly caught tuna, mingling with the salty sea breeze. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to the history of Concarneau Harbour and the vital role it played in the tuna fishing industry. The unloading process, though laborious and time-consuming, was a source of pride and livelihood for the local fishermen, who have passed down their knowledge and skills from generation to generation. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring relationship between the people of Concarneau and the sea, and the importance of preserving the traditions and history of this remarkable harbour.
