FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 historic photograph, His Royal Highness Prince Albert, Duke of York, later King George VI, is seen performing the dignified act of unveiling the War Memorial Arch at Guys Hospital in London, during a ceremony held in July 1921. The Duke, who was the sixth in line to the British throne at the time, was greeted by a large crowd as he arrived at the hospital to pay tribute to those who had served and sacrificed their lives during the First World War. The War Memorial Arch, a grand and imposing structure, stands proudly in the background, adorned with the names of the fallen soldiers from Guys Hospital. The Duke's presence added a sense of solemnity and importance to the occasion, as he paid his respects to the memory of those who had given their lives for their country. But the Duke's visit to Guys Hospital was not just a somber occasion. He also took the opportunity to open a new building for massage treatment, which was equipped with the most modern facilities. Massage therapy was a relatively new addition to the medical world at the time, and the Duke's support for this innovative approach to healthcare was a significant endorsement. The photograph captures a moment of history, as the Duke of York, future King George VI, pays tribute to the fallen heroes of the war and looks forward to the future of medical care at Guys Hospital. The image is a poignant reminder of the role that the British monarchy played in the nation's history, and the enduring importance of healthcare and remembrance.
