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.

Fishing Boats Entering the Harbour at Gorleston-on-Sea, Norfolk (1935): A Timeless Scene of Britain's Maritime Heritage This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the moment as a fleet of fishing boats returns to the safety of Gorleston harbour in Norfolk, England, in the year 1935. The tranquil scene at the quayside is a testament to the rich maritime heritage of Britain, which was once famously described as 'built on coal and surrounded by fish.' The postcard image shows the picturesque wall of the harbour, with its distinctive red-and-white stripes, as the fishing boats navigate their way in through the breakwater and into the calm waters of the bay. The boats, with their sails furled and nets stowed, are a reminder of the hardworking men and women who made their livelihoods from the bountiful waters of the North Sea. The quay side is bustling with activity, as the crew members disembark and begin the process of unloading their catch. The pier, extending out into the harbour, adds a sense of depth and perspective to the scene, as well as providing a connection to the wider world beyond the protective walls of the harbour. This photograph is a beautiful snapshot of a bygone era, when the fishing industry played a vital role in the economy and daily life of coastal communities like Gorleston. It is a reminder of the enduring connection between the people of Britain and the sea, and the importance of preserving our maritime heritage for future generations.
