23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
Step back in time with this image of Afternoon Tea aboard a ship of the Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK Line) from the 1920s. The elegant scene takes place in the ship's sumptuous lounge, where passengers don their finest attire, including fur coats, to enjoy a refined moment of relaxation. The lounge's verandah offers a breathtaking view of the vast ocean, as the ship cuts through the waves. A waiter, impeccably dressed in formal attire, pours steaming hot water from an elegant urn into delicate teacups. The table is laden with a variety of delectable treats, including sandwiches, scones, and pastries, all presented on fine china. The NYK Line, a renowned Japanese shipping company, was known for its commitment to providing first-class service to its passengers. This image showcases the company's dedication to creating a luxurious and enjoyable experience for its customers, even while at sea. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its ability to transport us back to a bygone era, where the simple pleasure of Afternoon Tea was an indulgent and cherished moment. The image captures the essence of the golden age of ocean travel, a time when the journey was just as important as the destination.
