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 captures the Naturalists Room on board HMS Challenger, a vessel that played a pivotal role in advancing the field of oceanography. The Challenger expedition, which took place between 1872 and 1876, was a groundbreaking scientific endeavor that revolutionized our understanding of the world's oceans. During its remarkable journey spanning over 68,890 nautical miles, the HMS Challenger conducted an array of scientific activities. A total of 492 deep sea soundings were carried out to measure ocean depths, while 133 bottom dredges provided valuable samples from the seafloor. Additionally, scientists performed 151 open water trawls to collect specimens and conducted 263 serial water temperature observations. The discoveries made during this expedition were nothing short of astonishing. Over 4,700 new species of marine life were identified by researchers on board the ship. These findings not only expanded our knowledge about Earth's biodiversity but also laid a solid foundation for future studies in oceanography. This print allows us to glimpse into history and appreciate the dedication and passion exhibited by these early naturalists who embarked on this extraordinary voyage aboard HMS Challenger. It serves as a testament to their pioneering spirit and unwavering commitment to unraveling the mysteries hidden beneath our vast oceans.
