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.

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
This watercolor drawing, titled "Holywood Pier" by James Moore, transports us back in time to the mid-19th century. The image, created in 1849, showcases the picturesque Holywood Pier in County Down, Northern Ireland. The pier, a popular tourist destination even then, stretches out into the Irish Sea, its wooden planks seemingly disappearing into the horizon. James Moore, an Irish artist born in 1819, masterfully captured the essence of the pier and its surroundings. The vibrant colors of the boats in the foreground contrast beautifully with the muted tones of the pier and the sky, creating a sense of depth and dimension. The gentle ripples on the water reflect the tranquility of the scene, while the few figures dotted along the pier add a touch of human presence. Moore's use of watercolor on paper lends a soft, ethereal quality to the piece, making it a visual delight. The intricate details in the boats, the pier structures, and the natural elements all contribute to the overall charm of the drawing. The pier at Holywood, which dates back to 1831, has been a beloved landmark for over a century and a half. It has undergone several renovations and expansions over the years but remains a cherished part of Northern Irish heritage. This watercolor drawing by James Moore offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the pier's history and charm as it once was.
