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
The steam yacht Chimaera, captured in this print from 1914, showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Kirk & Sons of Cowes. This stunning vessel, a true marvel of early 20th-century engineering, was commissioned by Arthur Henry Kirk and William Umpleby Kirk. With its sleek silhouette cutting through the water, the Chimaera epitomizes elegance and luxury. The monochrome image beautifully captures the boat's broadside view as it gracefully sails along the picturesque waters surrounding England's Isle of Wight. The Chimaera stands as a testament to British maritime history, representing an era when sailing boats seamlessly transitioned into steam-powered yachts. Its impeccable design and attention to detail make it a timeless symbol of nautical beauty. This photograph not only immortalizes the skillful workmanship of Kirk & Sons but also transports us back in time to an age where steam yachts were at their zenith. It evokes feelings of nostalgia for a bygone era when leisurely voyages on opulent vessels like the Chimaera were reserved for those who sought adventure and sophistication. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded that even today, amidst modern transportation advancements, there is still something enchanting about traditional water transport. The steam yacht Chimaera continues to inspire awe with its enduring allure.
