23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 photo print, we witness the mighty HMS Protector gracefully navigating through the icy waters of Antarctica's Palmer Archipelago. The ship stands tall against a backdrop of pristine snow and towering ice formations, showcasing its role as both a surface ship and hydrographic vessel. On that fateful day of December 4th, 2013, the lens captured an extraordinary moment: HMS Protector extending its helping hand to the Antarctic community at Port Lockroy. Laden with much-needed supplies, this noble vessel arrived at the small base to support their efforts in studying penguin life for an upcoming BBC documentary. As we delve into this image, we are reminded of the immense challenges faced by those living and working in such extreme conditions. The crew members aboard HMS Protector exemplify dedication and resilience as they navigate treacherous waters to deliver essential equipment and provisions to those stationed on Wiencke Island. This photograph serves as a testament to not only the vital work carried out by survey vessels like HMS Protector but also highlights the collaborative spirit between different organizations striving towards scientific exploration and understanding. It is a visual reminder of humanity's unwavering commitment to unraveling nature's mysteries while protecting these fragile ecosystems. Captured by LA (Phot) Vicki Benwell from Armed Forces, this stunning image encapsulates both beauty and purpose within one frame—a true tribute to all who dedicate their lives in service of our planet's most remote corners.
