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
Transporting us back in time to the early 1920s, this print captures the picturesque scene of Back Quay and Lemon Quay in Truro, Cornwall. From the vantage point of Lemon Bridge, we are treated to a breathtaking view of the River Kenwyn at high tide. Standing proudly on the hill in the background is Truro school, its presence adding an air of elegance and history to this charming coastal town. The quaysides are bustling with activity as sailing barges gracefully line both quays. One barge catches our attention with its unique wooden square engine housing towards the stern, showcasing a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation. Another barge rests peacefully mid-stream, creating a serene contrast against the lively atmosphere. Intriguingly dressed boys can be spotted in various parts of this snapshot; some stand on steps while others stroll along Back Quay wearing shorts - a testament to their carefree spirit amidst their surroundings. Signage for N. Gill & Son and John Julian establishments adds character to these historic streets. Notably illuminated by sunlight on Tabernacle Street's corner is an advertisement for Pratts motor spirit - a reminder that even then, commerce thrived alongside natural beauty. This remarkable photograph was skillfully captured by Arthur William Jordan, allowing us today to appreciate Edwardian-era charm intertwined with Cornish maritime heritage. A true treasure from Royal Cornwall Museum.
