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
This evocative photograph captures the hustle and bustle of Cardiff Docks in 1946, as cargo is unloaded from the S.S Inishowen Head. The image, part of the Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway's extensive collection, offers a glimpse into the past of this historic waterfront area. The S.S Inishowen Head, a merchant vessel, is moored at the quayside, its hull bulging with the weight of the cargo it carries. The cranes loom large in the background, their long arms reaching out to grab hold of the containers and transport them to the waiting trucks and wagons. The dockworkers, dressed in heavy coats and hats, are dwarfed by the machinery around them as they toil away, shoveling coal and securing the cargo. The atmosphere is one of industry and determination, as the post-war economy begins to recover. The steam trains, a symbol of progress and modernization, can be seen in the distance, ready to transport the goods to their final destinations. The ships, the cranes, and the trains all work in harmony, creating a well-oiled machine that keeps the country moving. Despite the hustle and bustle, there is a sense of community and camaraderie among the dockworkers. They work together, relying on each other to get the job done efficiently and effectively. The photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of a bygone era, when the docks were the lifeblood of the city and the engine of the economy. The Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway is proud to preserve this image and the stories it tells, offering visitors a chance to step back in time and experience the rich history of Cardiff Docks and the role the railway played in shaping it.
