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 engraving, titled "The whale flaps the sea in her dying agony" depicts a powerful scene from a 19th-century adventure novel called Wild Adventures in Wild Places. Created by an English School artist, this print showcases the immense beauty and tragedy of nature. In the engraving, a humpback whale is seen thrashing through the waves, its massive body creating ripples across the sea. The artist skillfully captures the desperation and anguish of this magnificent creature's final moments. It serves as a poignant reminder of our connection to wildlife and the impact we have on their existence. The illustration not only highlights the natural world but also evokes a sense of youthfulness and curiosity often found in literature from that era. Its inclusion in Gordon Stables' book suggests an exciting journey filled with danger and wonder. As viewers gaze upon this artwork, they are transported to maritime landscapes where fishing implements dot the horizon. The detailed engravings bring life to both animal and human figures alike, immersing us into these wild adventures. This print is part of a private collection but has been made available for public appreciation through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform. It reminds us of our responsibility to protect marine life while also celebrating their majestic presence in our world's oceans.
