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 evocative photograph captures the naval situation in the Mediterranean Sea on the brink of World War I. Taken in 1914, the image looks eastwards from Gibraltar towards the Adriatic Sea, showcasing the warships of six major European powers: Britain, France, Russia, Germany, Italy, and Austria. The British and French navies, with their formidable battleships and cruisers, dominate the foreground, while the Russian, German, Italian, and Austro-Hungarian fleets can be seen in the distance. At the time, the Mediterranean was a crucial theater of the impending conflict, with each nation vying for strategic control of the sea lanes. Britain and France, with their strong naval presence, sought to protect their imperial interests and prevent the Central Powers from gaining access to the Mediterranean. Russia, Italy, Germany, and Austria-Hungary, on the other hand, aimed to secure their own maritime routes and project power in the region. This photograph, taken by renowned photographers Davis and Macpherson, offers a unique glimpse into the complex web of alliances and tensions that characterized the early days of the First World War. The ships and their pennants, arranged in a striking pattern against the backdrop of the Mediterranean, serve as a poignant reminder of the historical significance of this period and the naval power struggles that shaped the world during the Great War.
