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
In this evocative photograph from May 1936, a French radio announcer can be seen broadcasting live from the promenade deck of the Queen Mary, during her maiden voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. The Queen Mary, a British ocean liner renowned for its size and luxury, was the largest ship in the world at the time of its launch. The excitement surrounding the maiden voyage was palpable, with passengers and crew alike eager to experience the latest in maritime technology and comfort. Radio broadcasts were a regular feature on board, keeping listeners back home in touch with the daily doings of those aboard the ship. The announcer, with his microphone and headphones, is in the midst of delivering a report to the listening audience, sharing the sights, sounds, and stories of the Queen Mary's maiden voyage. The deck, adorned with elegant Art Deco details, provides a fitting backdrop for this historic moment. The vast expanse of the ocean stretches out behind the ship, adding to the sense of adventure and discovery. The wireless technology used for these broadcasts was a marvel of the time, allowing people to connect with each other across great distances. The ability to receive live updates from the Queen Mary's maiden voyage would have been a source of excitement and pride for listeners, who could feel a part of the journey even if they weren't physically on board. This photograph captures a moment in time when technology and luxury came together to create a unique and memorable experience for those both on the ship and at home.
