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 photograph captures the essence of luxury aboard the RMS Olympic, sister ship to the infamous Titanic and Britannic. The image showcases a stunning "Modern" bedroom suite in cabin C69, exuding elegance and opulence from every corner. Commissioned by the White Star Line, also known as the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company, this Bedford Lemere and Company photograph transports us back to 1920-21 when Southampton docks served as a bustling hub for maritime adventures. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element within this bedroom suite speaks of refined taste and comfort. The carefully arranged furniture reflects an era where craftsmanship was paramount. A grand bed adorned with intricate carvings takes center stage, flanked by matching bedside tables showcasing delicate ornaments. Luxurious drapes cascade gracefully from ceiling-high windows, allowing soft natural light to bathe the room's sumptuous fabrics. One can only imagine the stories that unfolded within these walls as passengers embarked on their transatlantic journeys. This print serves as a poignant reminder of an era long gone but not forgotten—a time when ocean liners were symbols of both adventure and tragedy. Preserved by Historic England Archive, this snapshot offers a glimpse into history—an invitation to step back in time and experience firsthand the allure of travel on board one of history's most iconic ships.
