7295456 Stirrup hilted sword which belonged to Rear Admiral Sir James Clark Ross (1800-1862), 1825 (metal-gilt, ivory, steel, gilt, gilt wire, brass) by British School, (19th century); 81.3x2.9 cm; National Maritime Museum, London, UK; (add.info.: This sword is of the 1805-1827 pattern but has been dated 1825 because that seems to be the probable correct date. It was given to the Museum by Captain T D Ross, R N, a direct descendant of James Clark Ross. James Ross was shipwrecked in 1825 when serving in the Fury and it is likely that he lost his sword on that occasion and that this one, which has the modified stirrup hilt of later swords of the 1805 pattern, was a replacement.); © National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London

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 stunning print captures the intricate details of a Stirrup hilted sword that once belonged to Rear Admiral Sir James Clark Ross. Dating back to 1825, this metal-gilt, ivory, steel, gilt wire, and brass masterpiece is a true testament to the craftsmanship of the 19th century British School.
The sword is of the 1805-1827 pattern but has been dated specifically to 1825 due to historical evidence. It was generously donated to the National Maritime Museum in London by Captain T D Ross, a direct descendant of James Clark Ross himself. The story behind this sword adds an element of intrigue - it is believed that James Ross lost his original sword during a shipwreck in 1825 while serving on the 'Fury', prompting him to acquire this replacement with its modified stirrup hilt.
The fine details and exquisite design of this weapon speak volumes about its significance and historical value. From the elaborate gilt decorations to the sturdy steel blade, every aspect of this piece reflects the skill and artistry of its creators.
This print not only showcases a remarkable artifact from naval history but also serves as a reminder of Sir James Clark Ross's adventurous spirit and contributions to exploration during his lifetime.
