1962 Biarritz Boards Rough Sand Sandy Surfer Surfers Surfing Waves
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.

1. Title: "Riding the Rough Waves: A 1960s Surfing Moment at Biarritz, France" This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the essence of surfing culture in the 1960s, as two determined surfers gaze intently at the powerful waves crashing against the shoreline of Biarritz, France. The year is 1962, and the raw energy of the sea is palpable in this timeless image. The sandy beach, dotted with the occasional sunbather, stretches out before the surfers, who are dressed in period-appropriate wetsuits and carrying their surfboards. The rough waves, with their frothy white caps, are a stark contrast to the tranquil waters often associated with seaside resorts. The surfers' focused expressions and body language convey their readiness to take on the challenge of the waves, embodying the spirit of adventure and resilience that defines the sport. Biarritz, a popular French seaside resort town, has long been a mecca for surfers, with its consistent swells and diverse breaks. The photograph not only showcases the beauty of the location but also highlights the allure of surfing as a sport, which continues to captivate people around the world. The 1960s were a pivotal decade for surfing, as it gained widespread popularity and transformed from a niche activity into a global phenomenon. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of surfing and its connection to the sea, as well as the spirit of adventure and camaraderie that defines the surfing community. As you gaze upon this image, you can almost hear the sound of the crashing waves and feel the cool sea breeze on your face, transporting you to a bygone era and inviting you to join these intrepid surfers in their quest to ride the waves.
