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
The old and the new. . . a timeless holiday tradition. In this photo print, we see retired miner John James at the age of 63, from Cwmbran, South Wales, relishing in the simple pleasures of life. Taken on a sunny day at Trecco Bay in Porthcawl on July 28th, 1980, this image beautifully captures the essence of family fun and outdoor leisure activities. With his rolled-up trousers and vestments reminiscent of a bygone era, John James stands out against the backdrop of sandy beaches and glistening waves. A cap adorns his head as he takes a moment to enjoy his pipe while watching children play nearby. The contrast between his rugged appearance and the carefree innocence of youth creates an intriguing juxtaposition that speaks volumes about the passage of time. This photograph is not just about one man's enjoyment; it represents generations coming together to create cherished memories by the sea. It reminds us that amidst technological advancements and societal changes, there are enduring traditions that connect us to our roots. Preserved by Western Mail Archive's Memory Lane Prints collection, this image serves as a nostalgic reminder of simpler times when families flocked to seaside destinations for their holidays. It encapsulates both history and humanity in one frame—a testament to how photographs can transport us back in time.
