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.

Homecoming Heroes - A Heartwarming Reunion at Southampton's Quayside
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this poignant photograph captured on the 11th of June, 1982, emotions run high as the majestic QE2 luxury liner returns to her home port in Southampton. The atmosphere is electric with patriotism as Union Jacks flutter proudly on cars, drape over shoulders, and wave triumphantly on sticks. This is no ordinary arrival; it is a triumphant return from war. On board the vessel lies a precious cargo - 700 survivors from the HMS Coventry, Ardent, and Antelope - ships that valiantly fought in the Falklands conflict. As they step onto solid ground once more, their resilience and bravery are met with an outpouring of gratitude from their fellow countrymen. Amongst the crowd stands a couple locked in a heartfelt embrace. Their love transcends words as they cling tightly to one another; he, a survivor who has witnessed unimaginable horrors during battle; she, his unwavering pillar of support throughout his ordeal. This image encapsulates not only the joyous reunion between loved ones but also serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who serve in our armed forces. It reminds us all that even amidst turmoil and tragedy, there exists hope and unity within our communities. As we reflect upon this moment frozen in time by Memory Lane Prints' staff photographer, let us honor these brave soldiers for their sacrifices while cherishing every hug shared amongst family
