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 evocative photograph captures the bustling activity of Portsmouth Harbour during World War I, with a fleet of destroyers and submarines anchored in the background. The harbour, a strategic location for the Royal Navy, was a hive of military activity during the conflict. Among the onlookers at the water's edge is Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson (386202), a member of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps. Born in September 1889, Gibson would have been in his late twenties during the war, making him one of the many young men who answered the call to serve their country. The destroyers and submarines, essential components of the British naval fleet, were key players in the defense of the United Kingdom against German attacks. The image, which is part of the topographical collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the historical context of the First World War and the vital role played by both the military medical corps and the naval forces in protecting the nation.
