31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 aerial photograph, taken by Aerofilms Ltd in July 1974, offers a breathtaking view of Portsmouth Harbour and the naval dockyards as seen from the skies. The image showcases the vast expanse of the harbour, with its shimmering waters reflecting the sun's rays. In the foreground, the Royal Navy's dockyards dominate the scene, with their impressive structures and cranes standing tall against the horizon. The photograph provides a unique perspective of Portsmouth Harbour, a natural harbour that has played a pivotal role in British maritime history. The harbour has been a strategic naval base since the 14th century, and the dockyards have been the site of numerous shipbuilding and repair projects. The image also reveals the presence of several naval vessels moored in the harbour, including the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal, which can be seen towards the left of the photograph. The carrier, which was in service from 1955 to 1978, was the Royal Navy's flagship and the largest warship in the fleet at the time. The photograph also reveals the presence of the historic town of Porchester, located on the southern shore of the harbour. The town's medieval castle, built by Henry II in the 13th century, can be seen in the background, adding to the rich historical tapestry of the scene. This photograph is a testament to the enduring significance of Portsmouth Harbour and the Royal Navy dockyards, which continue to be a vital part of the UK's maritime heritage and national identity.
