Cold Nostalgia Winter Big Freeze
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
In this print from the Chichester Photographic Collection, we are transported back to a winter wonderland in Pagham Harbour on January 16th, 1963. The image captures a moment of pure joy as a man gracefully glides across the frozen sea, indulging in the exhilarating sport of ice skating. His loyal companion, an adorable dog, stands by his side with curious eyes and unwavering support. This photograph evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when communities would come together during the cold winter months to enjoy outdoor activities amidst nature's icy embrace. It serves as a reminder of the extraordinary phenomenon known as "the big freeze" that gripped West Sussex during that era. The frozen sea becomes their dance floor, where both man and dog find solace and freedom in this enchanting spectacle.
