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
This engraving captures a momentous occasion in history as King Edward VII visits the 'Great Eastern' during the creation of the Atlantic Telegraph in 1850. The image showcases the grandeur of both the ship and the royal visit, highlighting the significance of this technological advancement.
As one of Britain's most beloved monarchs, King Edward VII played a crucial role in promoting innovation and progress during his reign. His interest in telegraphy and communication is evident in this scene, where he inspects the vessel that would revolutionize transatlantic messaging.
The 'Great Eastern' looms large in the background, symbolizing human ingenuity and ambition. This massive steamship was instrumental in laying down cables across the Atlantic Ocean, connecting continents like never before. The intricate details captured by the engraver bring to life this pivotal moment when technology bridged vast distances and brought people closer together.
In this image, we see not just a king visiting a ship, but a vision of collaboration between royalty and industry to push boundaries and expand horizons. It serves as a reminder of how far we've come since those early days of telegraphy, yet also inspires us to continue pushing forward towards new frontiers in communication and connectivity.
