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.

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 photo print, titled "Pulling the sledges through the pack ice" takes us back to a time of daring exploration and unforgiving landscapes. The illustration is derived from Expedition du Tegetthoff, an account of the Austro-Hungarian polar expedition between 1872 and 1874. In this scene, we witness a group of exhausted male crew members struggling against harsh conditions as they tow their sledges across treacherous pack ice. Their faces reveal both determination and weariness, embodying the spirit of pioneers pushing themselves to their limits in pursuit of discovery. The landscape surrounding them is vast and desolate, with icy terrain stretching out in every direction. The boats that brought them here are visible in the distance, serving as a reminder of the immense challenges faced by these explorers. As they pull with all their might, dogs join in on this arduous task, adding an element of teamwork amidst adversity. Every step forward is met with danger; one wrong move could send them tumbling into freezing waters below. This engraving beautifully captures not only the physical effort required but also highlights the indomitable human spirit that drives individuals to explore unknown territories. It serves as a testament to those who dared venture into uncharted realms for knowledge and adventure. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the struggles faced by these brave souls on their quest for discovery amidst some of nature's harshest conditions.
