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 Hood: The Majestic British Battlecruiser that Met Its Fateful End in the Dark Waters of the North Atlantic Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the 20th century, the Second World War raged on, and the world held its breath as the struggle for supremacy at sea reached new heights. In this evocative aerial photograph, the majestic silhouette of HMS Hood, a British Admiral-class battlecruiser, stands proud against the vast expanse of the sea and sky. Launched in 1918, HMS Hood was a symbol of the Royal Navy's might and power, and her sleek lines and imposing presence were a sight to behold. As the 1930s dawned, HMS Hood underwent extensive modernization, emerging as one of the most formidable warships in the world. Equipped with a powerful armament and an impressive top speed, she was a force to be reckoned with. Yet, despite her fearsome reputation, HMS Hood's fate was sealed on May 24, 1941, during the Battle of the Denmark Strait. In a tragic turn of events, she was sunk by the German battleship Bismarck, marking the loss of one of the Royal Navy's most iconic vessels. In this photograph, taken before the fateful encounter, HMS Hood is seen in all her glory, her flag proudly flying high as she cuts through the waves. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the majesty and power of this legendary battlecruiser, and the sacrifices made by the brave men who served aboard her.
