Elderly Fisherman Fishing Pensioner Pipe Silhouette

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
In this print titled "An old Portleven fisherman enjoys his pipe and his memories of the record catches of other days" we are transported back to April 1972, immersing ourselves in a moment frozen in time. The image captures an elderly pensioner, weathered by years spent at sea, as he indulges in a cherished pastime - smoking his pipe. Silhouetted against the backdrop of a setting sun, the fisherman's silhouette exudes wisdom and nostalgia. His hat sits firmly on his head, shielding him from both the elements and the passage of time. Dressed in traditional fishing attire that bears witness to countless hours battling nature's forces, he is a living testament to an industry steeped in history. As wisps of smoke dance around him, it becomes evident that more than just tobacco fills the air; memories swirl alongside each exhale. With eyes fixed on some distant horizon only he can see, one can almost hear tales being woven from threads spun by decades spent hauling record catches. This photograph encapsulates not only a specific era but also serves as a poignant reminder of how our identities become intertwined with our passions over time. It invites us to reflect upon lives well-lived and reminds us that even amidst changing tides, certain traditions endure – like finding solace within oneself while reminiscing about moments that have shaped who we are today. Memory Lane Prints allows us to hold onto these fleeting glimpses into history - fragments captured
