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.

Old Billingsgate Fish Market, London, c. 1875: A Historical Snapshot of London's Thriving Fishing Industry This engraving, dating back to around 1875, offers a fascinating glimpse into the bustling Old Billingsgate Fish Market in London, as viewed from the River Thames. The exterior of the market building is prominently displayed, its grand architecture a testament to the importance of the fish trade during this era. In the foreground, a flotilla of sailing fishing boats can be seen bringing their catch ashore. These boats, with their sails billowing in the wind, were a common sight on the Thames, as they made their way to the market to sell their freshly caught fish. The market was a hub of activity, with fishmongers haggling over prices and buyers inspecting their catches before making a purchase. The Old Billingsgate Fish Market was a vital part of London's food supply chain, with fish being an essential source of protein for the growing population. The market's location on the Thames made it an ideal place for the import and export of fish, both domestically and internationally. This image, with its intricate details and accurate depiction of the scene, provides a valuable insight into London's rich maritime history. The Old Billingsgate Fish Market, which operated from the late 17th century until the 1980s, played a significant role in the city's development and contributed to its reputation as a major global trading hub. As we admire this historical snapshot, we are transported back in time, imagining the sights, sounds, and smells of the bustling market, and the vital role it played in the lives of Londoners over a century ago.
