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.

A Regal Splendor Sets Sail: The Epic Voyage of the Queen Mary Down the River Clyde, March 1936 In this evocative photograph, the majestic Queen Mary ocean liner gracefully glides down the River Clyde in Scotland, marking the beginning of her historic first voyage. The ship, a marvel of luxury and innovation, had been meticulously constructed at John Brown's shipyard in Clydebank. Its interior, a testament to opulence and comfort, was a sight to behold. As the Queen Mary prepared to embark on her journey to the sea, the anticipation was palpable. The voyage was described as "the most dangerous" the ship was ever likely to make. The 10-mile stretch of the River Clyde, from Clydebank to Greenock in Inverclyde, Scotland, was notorious for its treacherous waters and unpredictable weather. The Queen Mary, a steam-powered ocean liner, was a sight to behold. Her sleek silhouette, framed against the Scottish skyline, was a spectacle that drew the attention of onlookers. Birds in flight, seemingly unfazed by the grandeur of the ship, added a touch of natural beauty to the scene. The Queen Mary was a flagship of the Cunard Line, a company renowned for its luxury passenger cruises. This steamship, with its impressive size and innovative features, was a symbol of progress and the pinnacle of oceanic travel in the 1930s. As the Queen Mary sailed down the River Clyde, escorted by tugs, the excitement was palpable. The successful completion of this dangerous voyage marked the beginning of a new era in ocean travel, and the start of countless unforgettable journeys for thousands of passengers. This aerial view, captured by the Illustrated London News Ltd, offers a unique perspective of this historic moment in maritime history. The image, from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back to the 1930s, allowing us to relive the magic and wonder of the Queen Mary's maiden voyage.
