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.

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 serene and formidable winter quarters of HMS Discovery, a wooden screw storeship that played a crucial role in the British Arctic Expedition of 1875 to 1876. Originally known as the whaling ship Bloodhound, this vessel was purchased by the Royal Navy in 1874 for its ambitious polar exploration mission. The image showcases the grandeur and resilience of this majestic sailing ship amidst an icy landscape. The snow-covered surroundings create a stark contrast against the sturdy wooden structure of HMS Discovery, emphasizing both its strength and vulnerability in these harsh conditions. With her masts towering towards the sky and flags fluttering proudly in the freezing wind, HMS Discovery stands as a testament to British military prowess during the 19th century. This print transports us back in time, allowing us to witness history unfolding before our eyes. Duncan1890's meticulous attention to detail brings out every intricate feature of this remarkable vessel – from its meticulously crafted hull to its intricately designed rigging.
