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
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the tugboat Slavonia bids farewell to Dredger 13 as they navigate the treacherous waters of the Atlantic Ocean during a historic storm in 1946. The image captures the raw power and fury of the elements as the two vessels attempt to weather the relentless onslaught of towering waves and gale-force winds. The Slavonia, a sturdy and powerful tugboat, is seen here parting company with Dredger 13, a large dredging vessel, in the trough of a wave. The hawsers, the heavy ropes used to tow or secure vessels, are taut and straining against the force of the wind and water. Yet, despite their strength, they are no match for the storm. In the background, the waves crash against the vessels, their white crests reaching high into the sky, as if trying to touch the heavens. The year was 1946, and the Atlantic Ocean was in the grip of a fierce hurricane. The storm had been raging for days, and the two vessels had been working together to clear the shipping lanes of debris and sediment. But as the storm intensified, it became clear that they would have to part ways to ensure the safety of both crews. The photograph is a testament to the courage and determination of the mariners who braved the stormy seas that day. It is a reminder of the power of nature and the resilience of those who face it head-on. And it is a historical record of a moment in time when the mighty Atlantic Ocean, in all its fury, held sway over the tiny vessels that dared to challenge its might. Despite the danger, the crews of the Slavonia and Dredger 13 knew that they had a job to do, and they were not about to let the storm stand in their way. With grit and determination, they weathered the storm, and when it was safe to do so, they would once again set sail, ready to face whatever challenges the Atlantic Ocean might throw their way.
