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.

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 print titled "The work of the underwater pirate" takes us back to the tumultuous era of World War I. The image, a colour lithograph by Charles John de Lacy, depicts a chilling scene of warfare on the high seas. In this dramatic illustration, we witness the aftermath of a German U-boat attack on a merchant ship. The vessel is seen listing heavily in the water, damaged and engulfed in smoke. The crew members are desperately abandoning their sinking ship, scrambling into lifeboats for survival. The artist's attention to detail brings forth the chaos and danger that defined submarine warfare during this time. It serves as a powerful reminder of the perilous conditions faced by sailors at sea. "The work of the underwater pirate" is part of an esteemed private collection and was originally featured in Charles R Gibson's book "Ships that Saved the Empire". This evocative artwork not only captures historical events but also pays tribute to those who served in Britain's naval forces during World War I. As we gaze upon this striking image, we are transported back to an era where warships ruled these treacherous waters. It stands as a testament to human resilience amidst adversity and reminds us of our shared history shaped by conflict and sacrifice.
