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 photograph captures a moment in time, showcasing the resilient and hardworking Scotch Fishwives of Eyemouth in Berwickshire, Scotland. Dated circa 1907, the image portrays a scene of industry and determination as the women stand by the herring barrels, their faces etched with the exhaustion and focus that comes from long hours of labor. The rows of stacks and barrels stretch out behind them, a testament to the vast quantities of fish that were once a primary source of livelihood for the community. The Scottish Borders town of Eyemouth, located on the eastern coast of Scotland, was once a thriving hub of the herring fishing industry. The Scotch Fishwives played a crucial role in the process, responsible for sorting, cleaning, and packing the herring into barrels for transportation. Their work was arduous and physically demanding, requiring strength, agility, and a keen eye for quality. Despite the challenging conditions, the Scotch Fishwives of Eyemouth persevered, their dedication and expertise ensuring that the town's herring continued to be a prized commodity both locally and internationally. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the important role that women played in Scotland's fishing industry, and the indomitable spirit of the people of Eyemouth who made their living from the sea.
