Afloat Dock Floating Ironclad Largest Sultan Vessels
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
H.M.S. Sultan: The Largest Ironclad Afloat in 1870 This striking photograph captures H.M.S. Sultan, the largest ironclad afloat in 1870, as she sits majestically in her dock. Seven months have passed since her launch, and in that time, she has been fitted out and prepared for sea. The Sultan, a symbol of maritime power and engineering prowess, is a testament to the technological advancements of the late 19th century. The Sultan was a formidable vessel, equipped with twelve heavy guns, each capable of delivering significant firepower. Her engines, with a power output of 1200 horses, were a marvel of their time, enabling her to move through the water with impressive speed and agility. The ironclad's hull, covered in armor plate, protected her from enemy fire, making her a formidable force on the water. The photograph captures the Sultan in her dock, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the shipyard. Workers can be seen in the background, continuing their tasks, while others stand and admire the vessel's impressive size and design. The cranes and other machinery that were used to construct and outfit the ship are also visible, adding to the sense of industry and progress. The Sultan represented the pinnacle of naval technology in the late 19th century, and her launch marked a significant milestone in the history of shipbuilding. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into a time when ships like the Sultan were the epitome of engineering and naval power.
