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 striking and poignant painting captures the momentous event of the sinking of HMS Hood, the world's largest battleship, during the epic Battle of the Atlantic on May 24, 1941. The Hood, a symbol of British naval power and pride, met its end at the hands of the German battleship Bismarck. The painting was made from the decks of the Bismarck by an eye-witness to the historic event. The Hood, commissioned in 1920, was the pride of the Royal Navy and the largest and most powerful battleship in the world at the time. However, on May 24, 1941, the Hood and her sister ship, the Prince of Wales, were ambushed by the Bismarck off the coast of France. In the ensuing battle, the Hood was hit by several shells and eventually sank, taking over 1,400 men with her. This painting offers a unique and firsthand perspective of the battle, providing a glimpse into the chaos and intensity of the event. The smoke and fire rising from the Hood's wreckage, the ominous loom of the Bismarck in the background, and the sense of finality and loss conveyed by the painting are powerful reminders of the human cost of war. The Battle of the Atlantic was a pivotal moment in World War II, and the sinking of the Hood was a significant turning point in the conflict. This painting serves as a poignant reminder of the events that shaped history and the human stories that lie behind them.
