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.

Le Touquet-Paris-Plage: A Timeless Tradition of Shrimp Fishing - Five Teenage Girls, 1911, France This evocative photograph captures the essence of a time-honored tradition in the picturesque coastal town of Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, France. Five teenage girls, dressed in simple yet practical clothing, are seen carrying rolled-up fishing nets on the sandy beach. The scene transports us back to a simpler era, where the daily rhythm of life was dictated by the ebb and flow of the tides. The girls, with their determined expressions and focused gaze, are preparing for an afternoon of shrimp fishing. The rolled nets, a traditional method used in this region, are designed to catch shrimp as they burrow into the sand during low tide. The girls' deft handling of the heavy nets speaks to their skill and experience, as they have likely been learning this craft from a young age. The photograph, taken in 1911, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Le Touquet-Paris-Plage and its long-standing connection to the sea. The town, known for its stunning beaches and elegant villas, has been a popular seaside resort since the late 19th century. However, its roots lie in the fishing industry, which continues to thrive today. As the girls set out to fish, the sun casts a warm glow over the sand, creating a serene and idyllic scene. The photograph serves as a reminder of the enduring connection between the people of Le Touquet and the sea, a bond that has been passed down through generations and continues to shape the town's identity.
