Bucket Cromarty Mussels Shellfish Shelling
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 simple pleasure of shelling mussels by the sea in the quaint fishing village of Cromarty, Scotland, in the year 1906. A woman, dressed in a long, flowing skirt and blouse, sits comfortably on a low stone wall, her legs crossed in front of her. She holds a large, white enamel bucket between her feet, its rim brimming with freshly harvested mussels. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, illuminating the woman's face as she focuses intently on the task at hand. In the background, the bustling street of Cromarty comes to life, with children playing and adults going about their daily business. The village, nestled on the shores of the Cromarty Firth, is known for its rich marine life, making mussel gathering a beloved pastime for its residents. The woman's peaceful expression and the tranquil setting convey the sense of connection to nature and community that comes with this traditional coastal activity. The photograph, taken in the summer of 1906, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a simpler time when the rhythms of the sea shaped daily life. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of the natural world and the simple joys of spending time by the water.
