Coast Guard Lifeboat Redcar Buildings And Structures Coastguard Supplement

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
. In this print captured by Stephen Elliott on the eerie Halloween night of 1996, we are transported back to the iconic Redcar Lookout Tower. Standing tall against the backdrop of a darkened sky and crashing waves, this historic building holds within its walls tales of bravery and unwavering dedication. As part of The National Coastwatch Institute, this tower served as a vital vantage point for coastguards who tirelessly watched over the treacherous North Sea. Their watchful eyes scanned the horizon for any signs of distress or danger that may befall seafarers navigating these unpredictable waters. The image beautifully captures both the strength and vulnerability inherent in coastal life. The silhouette of the lookout tower stands firm against nature's relentless forces while serving as a beacon of hope for those in need. Its presence is a testament to human resilience and our commitment to safeguarding lives at sea. Stephen Elliott's masterful composition transports us back to an era when technology was not yet dominant in maritime rescue operations. It reminds us that even amidst rapid advancements, there will always be room for structures like these - physical reminders of our duty to protect one another. This stunning photograph from Memory Lane Prints serves as a poignant reminder that heroes do not always wear capes; sometimes they stand atop towers overlooking stormy seas with nothing but their unwavering determination and selflessness guiding them through each passing
