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 striking photograph, His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, is seen opening the new pontoon at the Westminster Boating Club on 18 July 1985. The Duke, dressed in a navy blazer and red tie, is surrounded by London Fire Brigade personnel, all wearing their distinctive uniforms and helmets. The backdrop of the image is the iconic London landscape, with the River Thames flowing gently in the foreground and the distinctive silhouette of the London Phoenix, a fireboat of the London Fire Brigade, displaying jets of water in the background. The Duke of Edinburgh, who was the patron of the Westminster Boating Club, was greeted by the firemen with a salute as he arrived at Dinorwic Wharf, Cheyne Walk, in London. The opening ceremony was an important event for the boating community, as well as for the London Fire Brigade, who were proud to showcase their fireboat and its capabilities. The London Phoenix, a powerful firefighting vessel, was a vital part of the London Fire Brigade's fleet, and was often called upon to tackle fires on the River Thames and its surrounding docks. The boat's impressive water jets were a symbol of the Brigade's readiness and ability to respond to emergencies, and served as a reminder of the crucial role that the fire service plays in protecting the city and its people. The photograph captures a moment of celebration and camaraderie, as the Duke of Edinburgh, the London Fire Brigade personnel, and the members of the Westminster Boating Club come together to mark the opening of the new pontoon. The image is a testament to the enduring spirit of service and community that defines both the royal family and the London Fire Brigade, and is a fascinating glimpse into the past of these esteemed institutions.
