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.

Torquay Harbour, November 5,1951 - A Battle Against the Elements
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the aftermath of a fierce battle between nature and man-made structures. On that fateful morning in Torquay, England, eighty mph winds unleashed their fury upon the picturesque harbor. The devastating gales wreaked havoc on everything in their path. In this snapshot frozen in time, one can witness the sheer power of Mother Nature's wrath. Stacks of timber that once stood tall on Haldon Pier were now scattered like matchsticks across the harbor. The debris served as a haunting reminder of the forceful waves that had washed them away. Amidst this chaos, construction workers could be seen diligently working on Princess Gardens banjo - concrete piles rising defiantly against nature's onslaught. Their determination to rebuild and fortify these structures was evident even amidst such destruction. This image not only evokes nostalgia for a bygone era but also serves as a testament to human resilience in the face of adversity. It reminds us how communities along coastal regions have always battled against unpredictable weather patterns and relentless winds. As we gaze upon this photograph from Memory Lane Prints' collection curated by Mirrorpix, we are transported back to an era when seaside towns like Torquay faced both beauty and brutality from their natural surroundings.
