Fisherman Fishing Pensioner Pipe Repairing Lobster Pots
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 man of the Sea" we are transported back to Budleigh Salterton in Devon during the 1940s. The image captures a moment frozen in time, as an ancient tar diligently tends to his lobster pots on the beach. This seasoned fisherman, with weathered hands and a pipe clenched between his teeth, embodies the resilience and determination that defined those living through World War II. As we peer into this snapshot from history, it is impossible not to be drawn into the scene. The pensioner's skilled hands delicately repair each pot, revealing years of experience etched upon his face. His presence evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when hard work was valued above all else. The backdrop of Budleigh Salterton adds another layer of charm to this photograph. With its serene coastline and picturesque surroundings, it becomes clear why generations have been captivated by its beauty. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime while also celebrating the indomitable spirit found within ordinary people facing extraordinary circumstances. It encapsulates both a specific era and universal themes that continue to resonate today.
