Attacking Cruiser Estuary Konig Mine Sunk Amphion
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
This striking print captures a pivotal moment in history - the sinking of the British cruiser HMS Amphion by a mine in the Thames estuary during World War I. The events of August 1914 forever changed the course of war at sea, as this powerful image illustrates.
The British cruiser Amphion was on a mission to attack the German minelayer Konigin Luise when tragedy struck. The explosion of a mine sent shockwaves through the ship, ultimately leading to its demise. The historical significance of this event cannot be understated, as it marked one of the first major naval losses for Britain in what would become known as The Great War.
As we gaze upon this haunting image, we are reminded of the bravery and sacrifice displayed by those who served aboard HMS Amphion. Their courage in facing danger head-on serves as a testament to their unwavering commitment to defending their country.
Through Mary Evans Picture Library's meticulous preservation and presentation of this piece, we are granted a window into an important chapter in maritime history. This print serves as both a tribute to those who lost their lives that fateful day and a reminder of the enduring impact that war has on nations and individuals alike.
