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.

Celebrating the Launch of the Royal Yacht Britannia: A Postcard from the 1950s This beautiful postcard commemorates the launch of Her Majesty's Royal Yacht Britannia on October 16, 1953. The image features portraits of Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh (Prince Philip) aboard the vessel, which would go on to serve as the British monarch's floating palace for over four decades. The Royal Yacht Britannia was a gift from the people of Great Britain to the newly crowned Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The launch took place at John Brown & Company's Clydebank shipyard in Scotland, and the event was attended by thousands of well-wishers. The postcard's design is simple yet elegant, with the royal portraits taking center stage against a backdrop of the Britannia's sleek silhouette. The Queen and the Duke are depicted in formal attire, with the Queen wearing a beautiful coronation gown and the Duke in a naval uniform. The postcard's border is adorned with the Royal Crest and the inscription "Royal Yacht Britannia," adding to its regal charm. The 1950s were a time of great change and excitement in Britain, and the launch of the Royal Yacht Britannia was a significant moment in the country's history. This postcard is a lovely reminder of that era and the enduring symbol of British royalty and maritime tradition that is the Royal Yacht Britannia.
