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 captured by George Greenwall in October 1947, we are transported back to a time when education went beyond the confines of traditional classrooms. The image showcases a group of enthusiastic students attending the Outward Bound Sea School at Aberdovey, eagerly engaging in an unforgettable outdoor experience. As our gaze is drawn towards the center of the frame, we witness one of the school's skilled instructors unfurling a sail on the bowsprit of their majestic schooner. The sheer excitement and anticipation radiating from both students and instructor alike is palpable. It symbolizes not only their shared passion for sailing but also their thirst for knowledge and personal growth. This snapshot encapsulates an era where childhood was filled with enriching adventures that nurtured character development and resilience. These young boys, dressed in timeless attire, represent a generation that embraced hands-on learning amidst picturesque coastal surroundings. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how outdoor leisure activities played an integral role in shaping youth during those transformative decades. It transports us back to simpler times when ships were vessels of exploration rather than mere modes of transportation. George Greenwall's remarkable ability to freeze this moment in time allows us to reflect upon the invaluable experiences gained through such educational endeavors. This print stands as a testament to the enduring power of experiential learning and its profound impact on generations past - reminding us all that true education extends far beyond textbooks alone.
