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
Amidst the tense atmosphere of the early days of World War Two, the crew of a Royal Navy destroyer finds a moment of respite while escorting a convoy through treacherous waters. In this evocative photograph from 1939, sailors are seen relaxing on the lower decks, playing a game of tombola, a popular pastime among the naval crews. One sailor lies in a hammock, his weary expression hinting at the long hours spent on duty. The destroyer, a vital component of the convoy's defence against U-boats and enemy aircraft, looms in the background, a reminder of the serious mission underway. The crew's quarters, cramped and basic, offer little in the way of comfort, yet these men find moments of relaxation and camaraderie amidst the challenges of wartime service. The voyage may be long and arduous, but for these sailors, even the simplest of games provides a welcome distraction from the dangers and uncertainties of the voyage ahead.
