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 bustling activity of Aberdeen Harbour and quayside in the 1960s. The image is filled with a sense of industry and hard work, as fishermen prepare their nets and boats for a day at sea, while men load and unload cargo from ships using cranes and trucks. In the foreground, a lone figure in a raincoat and hat stands on the quay, seemingly lost in thought as he gazes out at the choppy waters. The harbour is a hive of activity, with boats of all sizes bobbing gently on the waves. Some are small fishing vessels, while others are larger commercial ships, their hulls gleaming in the sunlight. A red car and a white van are parked on the quayside, adding a touch of modernity to the scene. In the background, the granite buildings of Aberdeen's Old Town rise up, their tall spires and steep roofs creating a striking contrast against the grey sky. A lifebelt and claxon horn hanging from a post serve as a reminder of the dangers of the sea, while a row of lifebelts on the quay indicate the importance of safety in this working harbour. The photograph captures the essence of life in Aberdeen during the 1960s, a time when the city's fishing and shipping industries were at their peak. It is a snapshot of a bygone era, when the sea was the lifeblood of the community and the quayside was the heart of the city.
