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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless scene of a fishing boat from the picturesque harbor of Camara de Lobos, Madeira Island, Portugal. Docked at the shore, the boat is laden with fish drying on racks, a traditional method of preserving the catch that has been practiced in this region for centuries. The sun-kissed, red-tiled roofs of the houses in the background add to the idyllic setting, as the fishing village goes about its daily routine. Madeira, an autonomous region of Portugal, is renowned for its vibrant fishing industry, with Camara de Lobos being one of its most famous fishing villages. The village derives its name from the seal-like creatures, known as lobos, that once populated its shores. The traditional method of drying fish, using racks or 'racks' as seen in this image, is a crucial aspect of the local culture and history. The process of curing fish through drying is a labor-intensive and time-honored practice. The fish are first cleaned, gutted, and salted before being arranged on the racks to dry under the sun. The drying process can take several days, depending on the size and type of fish. The result is a delicious, flavorful, and nutritious product that is highly sought after, both locally and internationally. This photograph is a testament to the rich heritage and the enduring traditions of the fishing community in Camara de Lobos, Madeira Island. It offers a glimpse into the past and the simple pleasures of life, while also highlighting the importance of preserving cultural practices for future generations.
