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 engraving captures the majestic SS Ireland, a mail paddle steamship launched in 1885 by the City of Dublin Steam-Packet Company. The ship was built at the renowned Laird Shipyard in Birkenhead and quickly became an integral part of maritime history with its service between Kingstown and Holyhead. Known for its impressive speed, the SS Ireland could make the journey in just two and three-quarter hours, making it a vital link between Ireland and Wales.
The intricate details of this historical print showcase the grandeur of this vessel shortly after its launch, highlighting its importance in facilitating communication and trade between these two bustling ports. The elegant design of the ship's paddle wheels and towering smokestacks evoke a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when steamships ruled the seas.
As we gaze upon this engraving, we are transported back to 1885 when the SS Ireland proudly sailed through choppy waters, carrying mail and passengers with efficiency and grace. This piece serves as a reminder of the crucial role that ships like the SS Ireland played in shaping our modern world, connecting distant shores and fostering international relations.
