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 evocative group photograph captures the officers and crew of HMS Marshal Ney, a Monitor class ship that served in the Royal Navy during the First World War. Circa 1915, the image offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of this formidable warship and its dedicated personnel. The men, dressed in their uniforms, are seen standing and sitting on the deck, some holding guns or lifebelts, while others are shown with cats or simply relaxing. The presence of the cats, believed to have been used for rat control on board, adds an intriguing touch to the image. Monitor ships, such as HMS Marshal Ney, were designed to provide close fire support for troops on land, making them an essential component of the naval forces during the war. The ships were heavily armed with guns, some of which can be seen in the background of the photograph. This historical photograph offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who served in the Royal Navy during the First World War. The image not only showcases the camaraderie and teamwork among the crew but also highlights the unique challenges and conditions they faced while at sea. As we reflect on the significance of this photograph, we are reminded of the rich history of the Royal Navy and the crucial role it played in shaping the course of the war. The image serves as a testament to the courage and resilience of those who served on HMS Marshal Ney and other ships like it, and is a valuable addition to any collection of historical maritime photographs.
