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
In this enchanting black-and-white photograph, a young Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, is captured at the tender age of six, donning a sailor suit that perfectly encapsulates his early childhood and future connection to the sea. Born on June 10, 1921, in Corfu, Greece, Philip was the only son of Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark and Princess Alice of Battenberg. This image, taken in 1927, offers a rare glimpse into the early life of the man who would later become the consort of Queen Elizabeth II. The sailor suit, with its crisp white collar and cuffs, not only reflects the nautical theme that would come to define his adult life but also symbolizes the carefree and adventurous spirit of his youth. As a boy, Philip developed a deep love for the sea and sailing. This passion would later lead him to join the Royal Navy during World War II, where he served with distinction and rose to the rank of commander. His naval career not only prepared him for his role as consort to the future queen but also played a significant part in his enduring bond with the monarchy. This historical portrait, preserved in the archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a captivating glimpse into the life of a future monarch consort, showcasing the charm and character of a young Prince Philip as he embarks on a life filled with adventure, duty, and devotion to the crown.
