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 captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing a group portrait on the deck of the majestic RMS Olympic. Standing proudly alongside this iconic ship, which was sister to both the Titanic and Britannic, these individuals exude an air of anticipation and excitement. Commissioned by the renowned White Star Line (also known as the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company), this photograph is a testament to their commitment to preserving memories of maritime history. Taken at Southampton docks, it serves as a poignant reminder of an era when ocean liners were not only vessels for transportation but also symbols of grandeur and luxury. The image transports us back to 1920, where we can almost hear the gentle lapping of waves against the hull and feel the cool sea breeze on our faces. The group poses with pride amidst towering smokestacks and intricate railings that adorn every inch of this magnificent vessel. As we gaze upon their faces, we are left wondering about their stories - who they were, what brought them here? Were they passengers embarking on an adventure or crew members diligently ensuring smooth sailing? Their expressions hold secrets untold. Preserved within Historic England Archive's collection, this print allows us to immerse ourselves in maritime history. It reminds us that beyond its tragic fate lies a legacy that continues to captivate our imagination even today.
