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.

Sailing in Sydney Harbour, Australia: A Glimpse into the Past of the Mosquito Fleet (1910) This photograph, taken in 1910, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of yachting in Sydney Harbour, Australia. The image showcases the Mosquito Fleet, a collection of small sailing boats that once graced the waters of this iconic harbour. The Mosquito Fleet was a popular recreational sailing group that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These boats, typically measuring around 12 feet in length, were known for their agility and speed, making them a favourite among local sailors. The fleet's name was derived from the boats' small size and nimbleness, which were reminiscent of the mosquito, a tiny yet tenacious insect. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, as the Mosquito Fleet sails gracefully against the backdrop of Sydney's picturesque harbour. The boats, with their distinctive sails and rigging, create a striking contrast against the clear blue waters and the verdant hills that surround the harbour. The image also reveals the rich maritime history of Sydney, with its impressive collection of historic vessels and bustling port activity. As you delve deeper into the photograph, you can almost hear the gentle lapping of the waves against the hulls of the boats and the joyous laughter of the sailors as they navigate the harbour. This photograph is not only a testament to the enduring appeal of sailing but also a reminder of the important role that recreational activities like yachting have played in shaping the cultural fabric of Sydney and Australia as a whole. In conclusion, this photograph of the Mosquito Fleet sailing in Sydney Harbour, Australia, is a captivating window into the past, offering a unique perspective on the history of yachting in this beautiful and historic harbour.
