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 print from Historic England Archive takes us back in time to March 1928, offering a mesmerizing aerial view of the Woolston Shipbuilding and Engineering Works in Southampton. The image, captured by Aerofilms Ltd, showcases the bustling shipyard during a period of intense maritime construction and engineering. The sprawling shipyard is alive with activity as workers scurry about like ants on this vast industrial playground. Towering cranes dominate the skyline, their steel arms reaching towards the heavens, ready to lift heavy loads and shape colossal vessels that will conquer mighty oceans. The air is filled with an electric buzz of anticipation as ships take shape before our eyes. Every inch of this remarkable scene exudes dedication and craftsmanship. Skilled engineers meticulously craft intricate details while welders fuse metal together with precision and expertise. It's a symphony of human ingenuity working harmoniously amidst towering structures that seem almost otherworldly. As we gaze upon this extraordinary snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that this shipyard was more than just a place where ships were built; it was a testament to human ambition and progress. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how far we have come in terms of maritime technology and engineering prowess.
