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 stunning print of a wind and current chart of the North Atlantic from 1852 is a true masterpiece of cartography. Created by M.F. Maury and W.B. Whiting, in collaboration with the U.S. Hydrographic Office, this detailed chart provides valuable information on wind and current directions in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea.
The chart is color-coded for the four seasons, allowing sailors to navigate more effectively based on changing weather patterns throughout the year. In addition to wind and current directions, magnetic variation and sea temperature are also noted, providing even more essential data for seafarers.
Measuring 95x68 cm, this print is part of a series of sixteen sheets covering both the North East and North West Atlantic regions. Its intricate details showcase the dedication and expertise required to accurately map such vast expanses of ocean.
Displayed at the National Maritime Museum in London, UK, this print serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with exploration and discovery. It captures not only the technical skill involved in creating navigational aids but also highlights our ongoing relationship with the powerful forces of nature that shape our world's oceans.
