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
This colour lithograph print by Thomas Somerfield depicts the dramatic scene of an old packet boat under attack at sea. The artist's attention to detail and use of vibrant colours bring this historical moment to life, showcasing the perilous nature of maritime travel in the early 20th century.
The image is part of a series illustrating "Wonders of the Post" related by Edith Robarts and published by Blackie in 1915. It offers a glimpse into the communication methods of the time, highlighting the importance of postal services in connecting people across great distances.
As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to a time when packet boats were essential for delivering mail and parcels efficiently. The turbulent waters surrounding the vessel add a sense of urgency and danger to the scene, emphasizing the challenges faced by those who worked at sea.
Through Somerfield's skilled hand, we can almost hear the crashing waves and feel the tension in the air as this old packet boat fights against its attackers. This print serves as a reminder of both past struggles and technological advancements that have shaped our modern world.
