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.

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.

Winter in Tientsin (now Tianjin), China, 1911: A Scene of Frozen Tranquility on the River Hai This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of a winter scene in Tientsin, China, in the year 1911. The partially frozen River Hai, once teeming with boats and bustling activity, lies still and quiet under a blanket of snow and ice. The tranquility of the scene is broken only by a few intrepid boats, their masts and sails peeking out from beneath the icy surface, as if daring to challenge the harsh winter elements. Tientsin, located in the northern part of China, was an important port city during the early 20th century. The River Hai, which flows through the city, was a vital artery for trade and transportation. However, during the harsh winters, the river would freeze over, making travel and commerce difficult. Despite the challenges posed by the harsh weather, life in Tientsin continued. The people of the city adapted to the conditions, using the ice as a makeshift highway for transportation and even setting up markets and shops on the frozen river. The scene depicted in this photograph is a testament to their resilience and resourcefulness. The photograph, taken in the early 1910s, is a precious reminder of a bygone era. It offers a glimpse into the history and culture of Tientsin during a time when the city was at the crossroads of modernization and tradition. The boats on the frozen River Hai, with their sails billowing in the wind, stand as symbols of the indomitable spirit of the people of Tientsin, who braved the harsh winter conditions to carry on with their daily lives.
