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 evocative photograph, taken in the early 1960s, a group of brave RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) volunteers are seen conducting a lifeboat practice drill off the shores of Eastbourne, Sussex, England. The quintessential British seaside resort town, with its iconic pier and colorful beach huts, is visible in the background, adding to the idyllic setting of this scene. The lifeboats, emblazoned with the distinctive RNLI insignia, are being launched from the shore, their ropes taut in the hands of the sturdy crew members. The men, dressed in their traditional red and yellow uniforms, work together with focused determination, ensuring that every detail of the drill is executed flawlessly. The lifeboats glide smoothly over the calm, turquoise waters, their powerful engines humming softly in the background. The RNLI is a renowned organization that has been providing essential lifesaving services along the coasts of the United Kingdom for over 190 years. The volunteers, who are all unpaid, undergo rigorous training to ensure they are prepared for any emergency situation that may arise at sea. Regular practice drills, such as the one depicted in this photograph, are an integral part of their training regimen. This photograph not only showcases the dedication and commitment of the RNLI volunteers but also highlights the importance of their work in ensuring the safety of those who venture out to sea. The image is a poignant reminder of the vital role that the RNLI plays in the coastal communities of the UK, and the unwavering bravery and selflessness of its volunteers.
