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
In this nostalgic print from 1987, British Telecom proudly hands over a new radio paging system to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), marking a significant milestone in improving emergency response times and potentially saving lives. The picture captures the essence of dedication and community spirit as employees of BT, who also volunteer for the RNLI, gather together. The image showcases three individuals involved in this crucial operation. Jeremy Tate fearlessly stands in the water while Mark Smith and Andy Jarvis sit confidently in a lifeboat nearby. Their commitment to serving their community is evident through their presence on that day. This snapshot symbolizes the vital collaboration between telecommunications and rescue organizations during an era when communication technology was rapidly advancing. With this state-of-the-art radio paging system now at their disposal, RNLI crews can be alerted faster than ever before, enabling them to respond swiftly to emergencies at sea. Charities like the RNLI play an indispensable role in ensuring maritime safety, relying heavily on volunteers' selflessness and support from organizations such as British Telecom. This heartwarming photograph serves as a reminder of how teamwork across different sectors can make a profound difference in safeguarding lives at sea. As we look back on this moment captured by Staff photographers on April 22nd, 1987, we are reminded of the invaluable contributions made by these dedicated individuals towards enhancing communication systems within emergency services—an achievement that continues to resonate even today.
