17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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
In this poignant photograph taken during the dark days of World War II, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth are seen inspecting the bomb damage at Buckingham Palace on September 13, 1940. The Palace had already sustained damage during an air raid on September 8, but it was on this day that the royal couple found themselves in residence when another bomb was dropped into the Quadrangle. Miraculously, the King and Queen escaped unhurt, but one workman tragically lost his life in the incident. The image captures the determined spirit of the monarchs as they survey the wreckage of their beloved home amidst the chaos of the Blitz. The King, dressed in a military uniform, and the Queen, wearing a simple yet elegant dress, stand amidst the ruins, surrounded by the clear blue sky and the rubble of the Palace. In the background, ARP (Air Raid Precautions) workers can be seen clearing the debris, a testament to the resilience and unity of the British people during wartime. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the challenging times faced by the royal family during World War II and the unwavering determination of the monarchy to carry on in the face of adversity.
