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 evocative black-and-white photograph, HMS Devonshire, a County-class cruiser of the Royal Navy, cuts through the tranquil waters of the Mediterranean Sea in 1936. The image, captured by the skilled lens of Charles E. Brown from the Royal Air Force, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of naval prowess and interwar naval tensions. HMS Devonshire, commissioned in 1936, was the third ship of her class, which was designed to counter the growing threat of German naval power in European waters. With a displacement of 8,600 tons and a top speed of 32 knots, she was a formidable vessel, armed with a main battery of eight 8-inch guns and a complement of 650 men. The photograph captures the cruiser in her element, with the sun casting long shadows over the calm waves, as the ship sails serenely towards the horizon. The image is a testament to the technical prowess and engineering expertise of the Royal Navy during this period, as well as the dedication and professionalism of its crew. The Mediterranean Sea, with its crystal-clear waters and warm climate, was a popular training ground for the Royal Navy during the interwar period. The region was also a hotbed of political instability and tensions, making it an essential area for naval presence and patrols. HMS Devonshire, with her powerful guns and advanced technology, was a key player in maintaining the peace and security of the Mediterranean. This photograph is an invaluable historical record, offering a unique perspective on the Royal Navy's role in maintaining peace and security during a time of political and military upheaval. It is a reminder of the importance of naval power and the dedication of those who served in the Royal Navy during the interwar period.
