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 photograph captures the moment large Surf Boats, also known as Thames Barges or Moroccan Trading Barges, gracefully touch the shores of Safi, Morocco in 1929. The serene image transports us back to the 1920s, a time when these boats played a significant role in the transatlantic trade between Europe and North Africa. The Surf Boats, with their distinctive flat-bottomed hulls and tall masts, are seen here in their element as they skillfully navigate the shallow waters of the Moroccan coastline. The boats, which could carry up to 200 tons of cargo, were an essential means of transportation during this era, allowing for the import and export of goods such as grain, olive oil, and phosphates. As the boats approach the shore, their crews, dressed in traditional clothing, are seen working in unison to secure the vessels to the land. The men, with their strong and determined expressions, demonstrate the importance of teamwork and the seamanship required for a successful landing. The backdrop of the photograph showcases the picturesque landscape of Safi, with its sandy beaches, clear blue waters, and rugged cliffs. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history of maritime trade between Europe and Africa during the 1920s, a time when these boats played a vital role in connecting the two continents. This photograph is an evocative reminder of a bygone era, showcasing the beauty and importance of traditional maritime transportation and the strong cultural ties that existed between Europe and Morocco during the 1920s.
