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
Step back in time with this vintage print of The Napier Inn and Dock Gate Inn on Fore Street in Portsmouth, dating back to the 1890s. These two historic buildings were later demolished to make way for the enlarged and extended Royal Sailors Rest, a significant site for naval history.
The image captures a glimpse of early Edwardian life, with lanterns hanging outside the quaint inn establishments. The scene is bustling with activity as sailors and locals go about their day in this busy maritime town.
The Napier Inn (on the left) and Dock Gate Inn are iconic landmarks that once stood proudly along the waterfront, serving as gathering spots for seafarers and residents alike. Their presence added charm and character to the streetscape of Victorian Portsmouth.
As you study this photograph closely, you can almost imagine Agnes Weston herself walking past these historic buildings. Known for her dedication to providing a home away from home for navy personnel, Agnes Weston's legacy lives on through institutions like the Royal Sailors Rest.
This snapshot offers a window into a bygone era when Portsmouth was at the heart of Britain's naval power. It serves as a reminder of our rich maritime heritage and the important role these establishments played in shaping community life during that time.
