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
Great Yarmouth, Norfolk - Landing Herring at the Harbour (circa 1907): A captivating photograph that transports us back in time to the bustling quayside of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, during the early 20th century. The scene is set at the fish market, where a fleet of small fishing boats have just returned with their daily catch of herring. The air is thick with the salty scent of the North Sea, mingled with the pungent aroma of fish. The fishermen, dressed in their traditional attire, are busy unloading their boats, their faces etched with the exhaustion of a long day at sea. They carefully transfer the herring from the nets into large wicker baskets, their hands calloused and nimble from years of experience. The quayside is a hive of activity, with men sorting and grading the fish, while others prepare the baskets for the next catch. The herring industry was a significant part of Great Yarmouth's economy during this period, and the town was renowned for its large herring shoals. The fish were not only a valuable source of food but also an essential commodity for export, with many European markets eager for the prized Norfolk herring. This photograph is a testament to the rich fishing heritage of Great Yarmouth and the hardworking fishermen who made their living from the North Sea. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a fascinating insight into the daily life of a thriving fishing community.
