23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
Former Swan Hunter coppersmith and welder, Rob Dixon, 38, proudly poses next to his remarkable creation - the Rio Delta. This magnificent 7-ton steel-hulled fishing boat was meticulously built by Rob in the backyard of his council home on Cedarwood Avenue, located in the charming North Shields Meadow Well Estate. Thanks to a generous grant from the North Tyneside Council in 2000, Rob's dream became a reality as he successfully lifted and transported the Rio Delta to Albert Edward Dock in town. With its completion drawing near, Rob plans to charter this impressive vessel for fishing parties as a means to raise funds for much-needed fishing gear. Rob's resourcefulness and determination shine through as he showcases his self-assembled masterpiece. His passion for craftsmanship is evident in every detail of this stunning boat. The photograph captures him during one of many testing moments when he bravely takes it out onto the water for its first trial run. This image not only represents an incredible achievement but also symbolizes the spirit of ingenuity and perseverance that defined individuals like Rob during the vibrant era of the 1980s. It serves as a reminder that with dedication and creativity, even seemingly impossible dreams can be realized.
