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 photograph showcases a vintage Stiebel design for the Women's Royal Naval Service (WRNS) officers' mess undress, dating back to September 1951. Designed by the renowned fashion designer Victor Stiebel, this elegant ensemble comprises a long, navy blue skirt, a blouse with a revered collar, and a bolero jacket. The WRNS, also known as the Women's Royal Naval Service, was the women's branch of the Royal Navy during World War II and the post-war period. The officers' mess uniform was an essential part of their identity, representing both their status and their commitment to duty. The long skirt, with its subtle pleats and A-line silhouette, exudes an air of sophistication and grace. The blouse, featuring a high-necked, revered collar, adds a touch of formality and tradition to the ensemble. The bolero jacket, with its fitted sleeves and cinched waist, completes the look, providing both warmth and style. Victor Stiebel was a celebrated British fashion designer, known for his innovative designs and his contributions to the fashion industry. His collaboration with the WRNS resulted in a series of elegant and functional uniforms that reflected both the women's military status and their femininity. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when fashion and military tradition intertwined to create a unique and enduring style. The Stiebel design for the WRNS officers' mess undress remains an iconic piece of fashion history, embodying the elegance and sophistication of a bygone era.
