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
HMS Duke of York: A Symbol of British Naval Power and Resilience during World War II This evocative photograph captures the majestic HMS Duke of York, a British battleship that played a pivotal role in the Royal Navy's defense during World War II. The image, taken in the 1940s, reveals the battleship's imposing presence as it sails through the open sea, its powerful guns and turrets ready for action. The HMS Duke of York, a second-rate battleship of the King George V class, was commissioned into the Royal Navy in 1939, just as the war was breaking out in Europe. Throughout the conflict, the Duke of York took part in several major naval operations, including the Battle of the Atlantic, the Arctic Convoys, and the invasion of Sicily. The battleship's name was chosen in honor of King George VI, who was the Duke of York before his accession to the throne. The ship's motto, "Fortuna Audaces Iuvat," which translates to "Fortune Favors the Bold," reflected the courage and determination of the crew and the Royal Navy as a whole during the war. Despite suffering damage during various engagements, the HMS Duke of York remained in service until 1957, when it was eventually decommissioned. Today, this historic battleship serves as a reminder of the bravery and resilience of the Royal Navy during World War II, a time when the fate of the world hung in the balance. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of the HMS Duke of York and the vital role it played in the defense of Britain and its allies.
