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
In this print titled "The Mummak KM, fresh water producer" we are transported back to the 1940s, a time of innovation and resilience during World War Two. The image captures Philip Noel Baker, Parliamentary secretary at the Ministry of War Transport, as he takes a refreshing sip of purified water on board a lifeboat. Standing by his side is Admiral Sir Martin Dunbar Naismith, observing with admiration. This photograph symbolizes the ingenuity and determination that characterized the home front during wartime. The Mummak KM, an incredible invention for its time, was a revolutionary fresh water producer designed to meet the needs of sailors at sea. As technology advanced rapidly in those years, such inventions played a crucial role in supporting military operations. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost taste the purity of that water and feel the hope it brought amidst turbulent times. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of chaos and uncertainty, human creativity knows no bounds. Cole's lens has beautifully captured not just two men sharing a simple act but also an entire era defined by resourcefulness and unity. This image stands as testament to how individuals from different walks of life came together for their nation's cause – politicians working alongside naval officers to ensure survival on treacherous waters. Let us cherish this remarkable piece of history that encapsulates both technological advancements and political dedication during one of humanity's darkest chapters.
