31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 essence of the rich fishing tradition along the coastline of Spain and Portugal. Taken around the turn of the 20th century, the image shows a proud fisherman standing on the shore, his strong, sun-weathered hands cradling two bulging nets filled with freshly caught sardines. The fisherman's gaze is fixed on the horizon, perhaps contemplating the day's catch or the vast expanse of water before him. In one hand, he holds a lantern, its warm glow illuminating the scene and casting long shadows on the sand. The fisherman's simple yet sturdy attire, including a wide-brimmed hat and heavy boots, speaks to the rugged and demanding nature of his work. The rolling waves in the background add to the sense of the raw power and beauty of the natural world. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the deep connection between the people of this region and the sea, and the enduring tradition of small-scale, sustainable fishing practices. Part of the Boswell collection, this image offers a glimpse into the past and a glimpse into the lives of the fishermen who have worked these shores for generations.
