Border Flag Frontier Security Coastguard
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 print takes us back to the picturesque St. Margarets Bay coastguard station, perched on the stunning Kent coast in June 1972. With its commanding position overlooking the mighty Straits of Dover, this historic station played a vital role in safeguarding Britain's shores during that era. The image showcases the station's impressive flag fluttering proudly against a backdrop of endless blue skies and rolling waves. This emblematic symbol represents not only national pride but also serves as a beacon of security for those traversing these treacherous waters. Operating round-the-clock, this coastal outpost was equipped with state-of-the-art visual, radio, and radar technology to maintain an unwavering watch over the busy shipping lanes below. It is no wonder that it held such significance as one of Britain's most important coastguard stations at that time. As we gaze upon this snapshot from yesteryears, we are transported to an era where frontier security was paramount. The photograph captures both the tranquility and vigilance embodied by those who served within these hallowed walls. Thanks to Memory Lane Prints' preservation efforts, we can now relish in this nostalgic glimpse into our maritime history—a reminder of the dedication and sacrifice made by those who protected our shores throughout generations past.
