23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
This vintage lantern slide captures a glimpse into the past with a letter written by Agnes Weston at the Royal Sailors Rest in Portsmouth. The image transports us back to the early Edwardian era, showcasing the importance of communication and connection for naval personnel during that time. Agnes Weston, known as "Aggie" to those she served, was a pioneer in providing support and comfort to sailors in the Victorian and Edwardian navy. Her work at the Royal Sailors Rest in Portsmouth was instrumental in improving the living conditions and morale of those serving their country at sea. The letter depicted in this print is a testament to Agnes Weston's dedication and compassion towards her fellow seafarers. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who serve in the navy, as well as the impact that small gestures of kindness can have on individuals far from home. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of the timeless value of human connection and empathy. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection has preserved this piece of history for future generations to appreciate and learn from, allowing us to honor Agnes Weston's legacy and continue her mission of supporting those who serve our country.
