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.

This print titled "Blackpool - Always Merry and Bright" transports us back in time to the golden era of British seaside holidays. The image showcases a stunning Midland Railway poster created between 1923 and 1947, designed to entice travelers to visit Blackpool for its gorgeous sights. In this picturesque scene, three elegantly dressed women are depicted sitting on railings along the pier, with the iconic Blackpool Tower standing tall in the background. They exude an air of sophistication and leisure as they enjoy their day by the sea. Each woman holds a parasol or umbrella, not only shielding themselves from the sun but also adding a touch of fashionable flair to their ensemble. The artwork by Wilton Williams beautifully captures the essence of Blackpool's vibrant atmosphere during that period. The attention to detail is remarkable; from the intricate patterns on their dresses to the delicate folds of fabric on their parasols, every element adds depth and charm.
