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 watercolour print by William Brenton Boggs takes us back to the picturesque island of Madeira in the mid-19th century. The artwork showcases Fort St. Iago, a formidable fortress built in the 17th century to safeguard Funchal from pirate attacks. Boggs masterfully captures the rugged coastal landscape, with its rocky shoreline and crashing waves against the fort's protective walls. Measuring at 17.6x25.4 cm, this delicate watercolour on paper is part of the Corcoran Collection housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , USA. Boggs, known for his naval background, appears to have had official duties as an artist during his time in the Navy. The painting transports us to a time when piracy was a real threat along these shores, emphasizing both the beauty and vulnerability of Madeira's coastline. The artist's attention to detail brings life to every brushstroke, showcasing not only his artistic talent but also providing historical insight into this important defensive structure. Fort St. Iago stands tall as a testament to Portugal's maritime history and its commitment to protecting its coastal territories from pirates who once roamed these waters. This remarkable piece offers viewers a glimpse into an era long gone while reminding us of our shared human desire for security and protection amidst natural beauty.
