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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of John Bew's shop front in the picturesque town of Guernsey, Channel Islands, circa 1905. The Edwardian-era building, adorned with intricate stonework and ornate signage, housed both Bew's wholesale and retail tobacco and cigar merchant business, as well as his ship insurance agency. John Bew, a prominent figure in the local community, stands proudly outside his establishment, overseeing the bustling trade. His female assistant, elegantly dressed in a long skirt and blouse, welcomes customers from the doorway. The display window showcases an array of tobacco and cigars, enticing passersby with their enticing aroma. The shop front exudes an air of sophistication and prosperity, reflecting the wealth and success of Bew's business ventures. The presence of the ship in the background underscores the importance of Guernsey's maritime heritage and the role that the tobacco and insurance industries played in the island's economy during this period. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of a fine cigar and a good cup of tea were treasured experiences. The warm, inviting atmosphere of John Bew's shop front continues to captivate us, making it a cherished piece of Guernsey's rich history.
