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 illustration provides a fascinating cross-sectional view of HMS Nelson, the iconic British battleship launched at the Armstrong yard in Newcastle upon Tyne in December 1925. A testament to the industrial prowess of the interwar period, HMS Nelson was commissioned into the Royal Navy in 1927 and served as a formidable symbol of British naval power. As the world geared up for the looming conflict, HMS Nelson was deployed to the Mediterranean Fleet in 1936, where it played a crucial role in maintaining peace and stability in the region. When World War II broke out in September 1939, the battleship was quickly mobilized and saw action in various engagements, including the Battle of the Atlantic and the Norwegian Campaign. The intricate details of this illustration reveal the complex machinery and engineering that powered HMS Nelson, with its massive propellers, boilers, and gun turrets. The illustration also highlights the ship's impressive size, with its towering superstructure and expansive deck areas. Despite its valiant service during the war, HMS Nelson was eventually decommissioned and scrapped in 1949. This illustration serves as a poignant reminder of the battleship's rich history and the pivotal role it played in shaping the course of the 20th century. Launched in 1925, HMS Nelson was a formidable vessel of the Royal Navy, serving in the Mediterranean and playing a crucial role in World War II before being scrapped in 1949. This detailed illustration showcases the complex machinery and engineering that powered the battleship, offering a glimpse into the industrial might of the interwar period.
