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.

1. Title: "A Piece of Naval History: The Engraved HMS Mansfield Letter Opener" This intricately crafted letter opener, engraved with the image of the HMS Mansfield and adorned with a Royal Naval button on the bullet-shaped handle, is a poignant reminder of the rich maritime history of the British Navy during World War I. The HMS Mansfield was a Royal Navy destroyer that served valiantly in the North Sea, playing a crucial role in protecting British convoys from enemy attacks. The letter opener, an example of trench art, was likely created during the war by soldiers or sailors as a means of expressing their connection to their homeland and the military units they served with. Trench art, a form of folk art, emerged during both World War I and World War II as a way for soldiers to create art from the materials at hand. The HMS Mansfield letter opener showcases exquisite detail, with the ship's name, pennant number, and the Royal Navy's White Ensign emblazoned on the blade. The bullet-shaped handle, topped with a Royal Naval button, adds an authentic touch, making this letter opener not only a functional tool but also a collectible piece of history. The HMS Mansfield letter opener is a testament to the creativity, resourcefulness, and resilience of the soldiers and sailors who served during the First World War. It is a reminder of the sacrifices made and the camaraderie shared during a time of great upheaval and uncertainty. This unique and intriguing piece of trench art is a must-have for history enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone with an appreciation for the rich maritime heritage of the British Navy.
