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 vintage engraving from 1878 showcases the HMS Challenger amidst the vast Antarctic ice. The image captures a moment in history when scientific exploration was at its peak, as this British naval vessel embarked on the groundbreaking Challenger expedition of 1872-1876. This remarkable journey laid the foundation for modern oceanography and led to numerous significant discoveries. During her extensive 68,890-nautical-mile voyage, the HMS Challenger conducted an array of scientific experiments and observations. A total of 492 deep sea soundings, 133 bottom dredges, 151 open water trawls, and 263 serial water temperature observations were meticulously recorded. These findings provided invaluable insights into the mysteries of our oceans. Beyond data collection, this extraordinary expedition also revealed a staggering number of new marine species. Approximately 4,700 previously unknown forms of aquatic life were discovered during this historic venture. The image itself portrays a majestic scene with the HMS Challenger proudly sailing through treacherous icy waters in true Royal Navy fashion. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and determination to unravel nature's secrets even in inhospitable environments. Duncan1890's print beautifully encapsulates both the historical significance and natural beauty associated with this iconic moment in maritime exploration.
