23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 lithograph from the 19th century takes us back to a significant moment in maritime history. The image showcases the HMS Assistance, a majestic sailing ship, being towed by the steamboat Pioneer as they pass John Harrow Mount in North Wellington Channel. It was captured during an expedition in 1853, when brave explorers ventured into uncharted territories of the Canadian Arctic. The scene is filled with a sense of adventure and exploration. The towering sails of the barque billow against the backdrop of a rugged coastline, emphasizing both the power and vulnerability of these early polar expeditions. The icy waters reflect their determination and resilience as they navigate through treacherous conditions. This lithograph not only captures a specific historical moment but also symbolizes humanity's relentless pursuit to conquer unknown frontiers. It serves as a reminder that there are still vast areas waiting to be explored and understood. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but feel awe-inspired by those who dared to venture into such harsh environments for scientific discovery and human progress. This artwork invites us to appreciate our ancestors' bravery while igniting our own curiosity about what lies beyond our known world.
