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 print titled "A Man of the Sandwich Islands in a Mask" takes us back to a time of great exploration and cultural discovery. The illustration, engraved by Thomas Cook in 1784, showcases the incredible talent of John Webber, who served as the official artist on Captain James Cook's final voyage through the Pacific. In this image, we see a male islander from Hawaii adorned in traditional costume and wearing an intriguing mask. His tribal headdress adds an air of mystery and intrigue to his already striking appearance. It is through such illustrations that we gain insight into the rich ethnography and rituals of these indigenous people. The Sandwich Islands were what Captain Cook named the Hawaiian Islands during his journey of exploration. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the curiosity and fascination with which Europeans approached new cultures during this era. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving, we are transported to another world - one where ancient traditions intertwine with newfound encounters. It reminds us that art has always been a powerful tool for documenting history and preserving cultural heritage. This print is part of a private collection but can be appreciated by all who seek to delve into our shared human story.
