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
In this striking black-and-white photograph, His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, stands tall and resolute in the midst of a sea of cheering soldiers as he tours army units in the beautiful Mediterranean island nation of Malta in March 1955. Dressed in the full battle-dress uniform of a Field Marshal, the Duke salutes the crowd with a confident and regal gesture, his expression serious and focused. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, highlighting the crisp folds of the Duke's uniform and the determined faces of the soldiers lining the parade ground. Prince Philip, who was born in Greece but became a naturalized British subject in 1947, had a deep connection to the military. He served in the Royal Navy during World War II and continued to hold the rank of Honorary Admiral of the Fleet in the British Royal Navy until his retirement in 2011. This tour of Malta's army units was an important part of his role as a senior member of the British Royal Family and as a symbol of the close ties between the United Kingdom and its former colonies. The photograph captures a moment of history, with the Duke of Edinburgh connecting with the soldiers and the people of Malta in a display of unity and mutual respect. The image is a testament to the enduring power of tradition, the strength of the British monarchy, and the deep bond between the military and the people it serves. This evocative photograph is a must-have for any collection dedicated to royalty, military history, or the history of Malta.
