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 print takes us back to the 1990s, offering a glimpse into the world of video production as it meticulously details the tragic Samtampa incident. The image transports us to a time when VHS tapes were still in vogue and serves as a poignant reminder of an event that unfolded on the UK coast. In this snapshot, we witness the heroic efforts of Porthcawl Lifeboat and the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) working tirelessly alongside the UK Coastguard to rescue those caught in distress during this fateful incident. The scene is filled with tension and determination as these brave individuals navigate treacherous waters, their unwavering commitment shining through. The photograph itself showcases a video production setup, highlighting how technology was utilized even then to document significant events like these. It stands as a testament to our human desire for truth and remembrance, capturing not only moments but also emotions that would have otherwise faded away over time. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints from Western Mail's archives, this image encapsulates both history and storytelling. It reminds us of our collective responsibility to honor those who risked their lives for others' safety while serving as an enduring tribute to resilience in times of adversity. As we gaze upon this powerful visual representation, let us reflect on its deeper meaning: that through documentation and shared narratives, we can learn from past experiences and strive towards building a safer future for all.
