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
This evocative photograph captures the scene at Grand Harbour in Malta during the interwar period, with a vibrant collection of traditional Maltese dhaisas (luggage boats) moored alongside the historic waterfront. The serene waters reflect the warm Mediterranean sun, as locals go about their daily business, oblivious to the looming presence of the Royal Navy warships anchored in the background. The British Royal Navy, a dominant force in the Mediterranean Sea during this era, is represented by several impressive vessels, including a cruiser and a destroyer. Their imposing silhouettes serve as a stark contrast to the humble dhaisas, highlighting the juxtaposition of traditional Maltese life and the modern military might of the time. Taken by Charles E Brown, an official photographer for the Royal Air Force, this image offers a unique perspective of Malta's rich maritime history. The photograph not only showcases the picturesque harbor and the coexistence of Maltese culture and British influence but also provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Grand Harbour bustled with activity and the Royal Navy played a significant role in the Mediterranean. The photograph is a testament to the enduring charm of Malta's Grand Harbour and its rich historical significance, making it an invaluable addition to any collection focusing on maritime history, Maltese culture, or the interwar period.
