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
This vintage print captures the Royal Naval Needlework Guild at the Royal Sailors Rest in Portsmouth, showcasing the intricate and delicate needlework created by members of the guild. The image features a group of women diligently working on their projects, surrounded by Victorian-era decor and a charming lantern hanging overhead. The Royal Sailors Rest was a place where sailors could find respite and support while on shore leave, providing them with a home away from home. The needlework created by these talented individuals not only served as a form of therapy and relaxation but also as a way to give back to those who served in the navy. Amongst the group is Agnes Weston, affectionately known as "Aggie," who was instrumental in founding the Royal Naval Needlework Guild. Her dedication to supporting naval personnel through her philanthropic work has left an enduring legacy that continues to inspire others today. This snapshot offers a glimpse into early Edwardian life within this naval community, highlighting both the camaraderie amongst its members and their commitment to creating beautiful pieces of art through needlework. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving traditions and honoring those who have dedicated themselves to serving their country.
