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 print showcases the legendary figure of Francis Drake, a prominent English explorer and navigator from the 16th century. The engraving depicts Drake's arrival in the New World, capturing a pivotal moment in history. Standing on the shore with his ship anchored nearby, Sir Francis Drake is seen surrounded by native inhabitants who appear curious yet cautious about this foreign presence. The image beautifully captures the contrast between two worlds colliding - one represented by Drake's European attire and weaponry, while the other portrayed through indigenous people armed with bows and arrows. It evokes a sense of intrigue as both parties engage in an exchange of cultures. Drake himself stands tall, embodying the spirit of adventure and discovery that defined his legacy. As a knighted sailor, he played a significant role in British maritime exploration during his time. This engraving offers us a glimpse into his journey across uncharted territories, where he encountered new lands and peoples. Beyond its historical significance, this artwork also highlights themes of cultural exchange and mutual interest between different civilizations. The inclusion of dancing figures suggests moments of connection or celebration amidst these encounters. Overall, this print serves as an intriguing window into Francis Drake's expedition to the New World – an emblematic representation of exploration during one of history's most transformative eras.
