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.

From Whaling to Wall-less Wonder - Tanking Up on History at Grytviken Station!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step into a time capsule of industrial might and witness the remnants of a bygone era at Grytviken Whaling Station! This print takes us back to an Antarctic settlement that was once fueled by tanks, both literally and metaphorically. Once bustling with activity, this now derelict factory stands as a testament to the exploitation and economy that revolved around whaling. While most walls and roofs have crumbled away for safety reasons, what remains is an awe-inspiring sight that sparks curiosity in every visitor. As you explore this remote South Georgia Island treasure, imagine the colossal ships being refueled with blubber-derived fuel from these very tanks. The echoes of industry still resonate amidst the rusted metal structures, reminding us of the extractive power that once thrived here. But fear not! This visit isn't all about decay and ruin. It's an opportunity to marvel at history's resilience against time. Let your imagination run wild as you envision how life must have been in this polar frontier town – where oil flowed like rivers and fish oil powered dreams! So grab your sense of adventure (and maybe a warm coat) because Grytviken Whaling Station awaits! Discover its secrets, embrace its subpolar charm, and let this extraordinary snapshot transport you back in time while standing firmly in the present.
