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
Capturing the essence of a bygone era, this print transports us back to the peaceful countryside of Watford, Hertfordshire in 1945. In this charming scene, a group of young boys can be seen indulging in one of their favorite pastimes - fishing on the tranquil canal that winds its way through the picturesque landscape. With their eager faces and simple fishing gear in hand, these adventurous youngsters epitomize innocence and curiosity. The grand Union Canal serves as both a playground and an escape from the realities of post-war life. As they patiently wait for a bite, surrounded by barge boats and locks that dot the waterway, time seems to stand still. George Greenwell's skillful composition captures not only the idyllic beauty of rural England but also highlights how transport and travel were intertwined with everyday life during this period. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into simpler times when children found joy in nature's wonders rather than digital distractions. As we gaze upon this nostalgic image today, it reminds us to cherish our own memories of carefree childhood adventures while inspiring us to seek solace amidst nature's embrace. Let George Greenwell's timeless photograph take you on a journey down memory lane – where innocence meets tranquility.
