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 camaraderie and spirit of the crew members aboard the HMT Buccaneer during World War II. Taken in 1943 at Scapa Flow, a major naval base in the Orkney Islands of Scotland, the image showcases a diverse group of men from the Women's Royal Naval Service (WRNS) and the Royal Navy, all dressed in their uniforms and gathered on the deck of the ship. The HMT Buccaneer was a British transport ship that played a crucial role in the war effort, transporting troops, supplies, and equipment across the Atlantic Ocean. The image of the ship at anchor in the tranquil waters of Scapa Flow, surrounded by other naval vessels, serves as a poignant reminder of the pivotal role that the Royal Navy and its auxiliaries played in the defense of the United Kingdom during the 1940s. The men and women in the photograph exude a sense of determination and resilience, their faces reflecting the challenges and hardships they faced during the war. The image is a valuable addition to any personal album or collection of World War II memorabilia, offering a unique glimpse into the daily life of the crew aboard a British transport ship during this turbulent time in history. The photograph is a testament to the bravery and sacrifice of the men and women who served in the Royal Navy and the Women's Royal Naval Service during World War II. It is a poignant reminder of the important role that the British Navy played in the defense of the United Kingdom and the Allied Powers during the war years, and a tribute to the indomitable spirit of those who served aboard the HMT Buccaneer and other ships like it.
