Eroded Erosion Fisherman Fishermen Lobster Pots Rowing Start Beesands
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 daily life of fishermen at Beesands, Start Bay in Devon during the 1970s. The scene is set against the backdrop of the rugged Devon coastline, with its crashing waves and the constant threat of coastal erosion. In the foreground, we see a group of men carefully tending to their lobster pots, their focus intently on their work. The traditional wooden boats, with their distinctive red sails, are moored on the shingle beach, ready for use. As our gaze moves further out to sea, we can see the vast expanse of water stretching out before us, dotted with other boats and the occasional buoy. But the tranquility of the scene is disrupted by the signs of coastal erosion in the middle distance. The land has been eaten away by storm damage, leaving a stark reminder of the power of the sea. Despite the challenges posed by the elements, the fishermen of Beesands have protected this vulnerable coastline over the years with sea defences. These defences have helped to preserve the community's livelihood and way of life, allowing them to continue their vital work in the fishing industry. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and determination of the people who live and work in this beautiful but unforgiving environment. It offers a glimpse into a time when the sea and the land were inextricably linked, and the rhythms of the tide and the seasons shaped the lives of those who called the coast their home.
