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
The RNLB Watkins Williams lifeboat, a symbol of bravery and rescue, proudly served the Moelfre community from 1956 to 1977. This remarkable vessel, captured in this stunning photo print, stands as a testament to the dedication and selflessness of its crew. During her service years, the Watkins Williams lifeboat embarked on an astonishing 154 missions, each one carrying with it the weight of countless lives in peril. With unwavering determination and skillful navigation through treacherous waters, this heroic vessel managed to save an incredible 143 souls from certain disaster. As we gaze upon this image frozen in time circa 1975, we are reminded of the vital role played by emergency services such as lifeboats. The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), a renowned charity organization committed to saving lives at sea since its establishment in 1824, entrusted their mission into capable hands aboard vessels like the Watkins Williams. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that behind every successful rescue operation lies not only advanced maritime technology but also brave individuals who risk their own safety for others. Let us honor these unsung heroes who have dedicated their lives to protecting those at sea.
