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 Ferdinand Magellan's iconic boat, Victoria, which holds the remarkable distinction of being the first vessel to successfully circumnavigate the world. Created by the Portuguese School in the 17th century, this engraving is a testament to both historical significance and artistic craftsmanship. The image transports us back in time to an era of great exploration and adventure. It reminds us of Magellan's audacious journey from Spain to Mactan Island in the Philippines, where he tragically lost his life. Despite this setback, Victoria continued its voyage and triumphantly reached the Moluccas Spice Islands before becoming the sole ship to return home to Spain in 1522. The intricate details captured within this print allow us to appreciate not only Magellan's incredible feat but also the resilience and determination exhibited by those aboard Victoria. The composition exudes a sense of awe-inspiring grandeur as we witness history unfold through this legendary vessel. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of humanity's insatiable thirst for discovery and our relentless pursuit of knowledge. This photograph serves as a visual reminder that even against seemingly insurmountable odds, human ingenuity can prevail. Displayed proudly within a private collection today, this engraving stands as a timeless tribute to one man's extraordinary vision and his enduring legacy on global navigation and exploration.
