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 photograph, hailing from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the early 1900s and the golden age of ocean liners. The image showcases the majestic RMS Mauretania and RMS Lusitania, two iconic vessels of the Cunard Line that graced the waters of the North Atlantic. The RMS Mauretania, depicted on the left, was the first ever ocean liner to hold the Blue Riband for the fastest transatlantic crossing, a title she held from 1909 to 1929. Her sleek, modern design with a distinctive dark hull and white superstructure, set a new standard for ocean travel. Her sister ship, the RMS Lusitania, is seen on the right. Launched in 1907, she was the largest passenger ship in the world at the time and was renowned for her luxurious amenities and elegant interiors. This stunning lantern slide, likely taken from the deck of another ship or from the shore, captures the essence of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The ships, bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun, appear as stately and magnificent as ever. The calm sea and clear sky serve as a serene backdrop, highlighting the grandeur and sophistication of these magnificent vessels. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the maritime industry during this era. It invites us to imagine the excitement and wonder that travelers must have felt as they embarked on their transatlantic journeys, seeking new opportunities and adventures across the vast ocean.
