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 aerial photograph, EAW017029 from the Historic England Archive, offers a breathtaking view of Southend Pier and the Prince George Extension in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, England, as seen from the south. The pier, a popular tourist attraction and the longest in the world at the time, stretches out into the North Sea, its wooden structure contrasting against the tranquil blue waters. At the pier's end, docked, is the New Medway Steam Packet Company's (NMSPCo) PS "Queen of Thanet." A former minesweeper named HMS Melton during World War I, this historic ship was acquired by NMSPCo in 1928 and entered service in 1929. Its distinctive red funnel and white hull can be clearly seen in the image. The "Queen of Thanet" played a significant role in the company's maritime history, providing essential passenger and freight services between the Thames Estuary and various ports. The photograph was taken by Aerofilms Ltd in July 1948, capturing a moment in time when the pier and the "Queen of Thanet" stood proudly against the backdrop of the North Sea. The image is a testament to the rich maritime heritage of Southend-on-Sea and the enduring appeal of its iconic pier and historic vessels.
