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 watercolour print captures a moment frozen in time on Axel's Island, Spitsbergen during the 20th century. The image features an Arctic tern perched gracefully next to a wooden sextant, creating a juxtaposition of nature and technology. The delicate brushstrokes bring out the vibrant colors of the bird's plumage and the intricate details of the antique measuring instrument.
The Arctic tern, known for its long migration from the Arctic to Antarctic every year, symbolizes freedom and endurance. Its presence in this painting adds a sense of wild beauty to the scene, reminding us of the harsh yet awe-inspiring environment it calls home.
On the other hand, the wooden sextant represents human ingenuity and exploration. Used by sailors for centuries to navigate through unknown waters, it is a testament to our relentless quest for discovery and knowledge.
Together, these elements create a captivating tableau that speaks to both our connection with nature and our desire to conquer new frontiers. This artwork by William Lionel Wyllie is not just a beautiful composition but also a reflection on humanity's relationship with the natural world.
