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
This evocative early 20th century photograph captures the essence of a bygone era at The Lift, Shanklin, on the Isle of Wight. Located on the English coast of the English Channel, Shanklin was a popular seaside resort known for its sandy beaches and picturesque coastal scenery. In this image, we see a crowd of people gathered around the wooden Lift, a unique landmark that once helped visitors navigate the steep cliffs leading down to the shore. Dressed in their Sunday best, families and groups of friends pose for photographs, while others engage in leisurely activities on the beach or stroll along the promenade. The quaint houses and buildings lining the shore add to the idyllic scene, creating a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time. The Lift, a funicular railway, was an essential part of Shanklin's charm, providing easy access to the beach for visitors who would otherwise have to navigate the steep cliffs on foot. The railway, which operated from 1896 until 1966, was a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the local community, making the beach accessible to all, regardless of their physical abilities. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and tradition of seaside holidays in the UK, and the simple pleasures that come with spending a day by the sea. The Lift at Shanklin, Isle of Wight, may no longer be in operation, but its legacy lives on in the memories of those who visited and the photographs that capture its essence.
