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.

The Courage of a Table
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that depicts an extraordinary act of bravery and resilience. The image, captured by Achille Beltrame in 1933, showcases a thrilling encounter between a young Croatian boy and a menacing shark in the Adriatic Sea. In this heart-stopping moment, the fearless Balilla boy defends his island home on Cres with nothing but an oar. As the shark approaches the coast, he fearlessly strikes it with tremendous force, stunning the creature momentarily. Undeterred by its size and ferocity, the courageous boy delivers another fatal blow as the monster resurfaces. Beltrame's illustration for Courier Sunday immortalizes this incredible feat of heroism. The composition beautifully captures the intensity of the scene – from the crashing waves to the determined expression on both predator and defender. This artwork serves as a testament to human courage against nature's mightiest forces. It reminds us that even in our vulnerability, we possess immense strength when faced with adversity. The juxtaposition of man versus beast highlights our innate ability to protect what we hold dear. "The Courage of a Table" not only celebrates this remarkable event but also pays homage to Croatia's rich coastal heritage and its people's indomitable spirit. It serves as an inspiration for all who view it – urging them to face their own challenges head-on with unwavering determination and fortitude.
