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.

La Greve de Lecq, Jersey, June 1925: A GWR Snapshot of Coastal Charm and Historical Significance. This print transports us back to the idyllic summer days of 1925 in La Greve de Lecq, a picturesque village nestled on the northern coast of Jersey in the Channel Islands. The image captures the essence of this coastal gem, with its quaint village houses dotting the landscape and a pristine sandy beach stretching out towards crystal-clear waters. However, beyond its natural beauty lies a hidden story that adds depth to this snapshot in time. Standing proudly amidst the scenery is a fortification tower - now an integral part of a tourist attraction recounting Jersey's occupation during World War II. This tower serves as a poignant reminder of the island's resilience and historical significance. As we gaze upon this image from nearly a century ago, we are reminded not only of simpler times spent by sun-kissed shores but also how history has shaped these very landscapes. It invites us to explore further into La Greve de Lecq's past and immerse ourselves in its rich heritage. This photograph is more than just an aesthetically pleasing view; it encapsulates both natural beauty and human history intertwined harmoniously along Jersey's enchanting coastline.
