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
Captured in this vintage print from the George Garland Collection, we are transported back to a heartwarming scene at Petworth Park's Fishing Competition for the 'Welcome Home' Fund on 14 September 1946. The image showcases four skilled fishermen proudly displaying their impressive catch of assorted fish, as they strike a pose for the camera. Their faces beaming with satisfaction and camaraderie, these men exemplify the spirit of community that prevailed during post-war times. Adding an element of innocence and curiosity to the frame, two young boys can be seen observing the spectacle with wide-eyed wonder. Perhaps aspiring anglers themselves, they soak up every detail of this exciting event unfolding before them. The fashion and style captured in this snapshot offer us a glimpse into 1940s attire. From hats to berets, caps to glasses, each individual displays their unique sense of personal flair. A pipe clenched between one man's teeth adds an air of sophistication amidst nature's beauty. Notably absent from this caption is any mention of commercial use or company affiliation; instead, it focuses solely on preserving and appreciating historical moments like these that were lovingly documented by West Sussex County Council's archives.
