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.

Gutting Herrings, Ardglass: A Snapshot of Early 20th Century Coastal Life in Northern Ireland This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the early 1900s, showcasing the daily routine of the community in Ardglass, County Down, Northern Ireland. The image presents a crowd of people, predominantly women, intently focused on their work as they gut herring fish on the pier. Their determined expressions and the rhythmic nature of their movements suggest that this is a well-practiced and essential task. In the background, a horse and cart stand ready to transport the freshly gutted fish to market or to the nearby smokehouses for preservation. The fishing boats, anchored in the harbor, testify to the town's reliance on the sea for sustenance and livelihood. Ardglass, a picturesque coastal village, has a rich maritime history. Its strategic location on the Irish Sea made it an ideal place for fishing, particularly for herring, which were abundant in these waters. The village's economy thrived on the production and export of herring and other fish. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of the people who lived and worked in Ardglass during this era. Their dedication and perseverance in the face of the elements and the physical demands of their labor reflect the resilience and resourcefulness of the community. The image also serves as a reminder of the close connection between the people and the sea, a bond that continues to define Ardglass and its people to this day.
