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.

Early Settlement - A Glimpse into Australia's Colonial Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to the early days of British settlement in New South Wales, Australia. Captured circa 1792 by the talented artist Thomas Watling, this painting offers a unique perspective looking north towards Sydney Cove and Port Jackson. As we delve into this historical snapshot, our eyes are drawn to the bustling activity on the water. A magnificent sailing ship gracefully glides through Port Jackson, symbolizing the arrival of British colonizers who sought to establish their presence in this distant land. Alongside it, a traditional Aboriginal canoe floats effortlessly, reminding us of the rich indigenous culture that predates European settlement. The contrasting tones of black and white lend an air of nostalgia to this image, transporting us back to a time when Sydney was still taking its first steps as a burgeoning colony. The meticulous details captured by Watling allow us to witness daily life unfolding before our eyes - settlers going about their tasks while Aborigines observe from afar. This remarkable piece invites contemplation about Australia's complex history - one marked by both triumphs and tragedies. It serves as a poignant reminder of how different cultures collided during these early years and sets the stage for further exploration into Australia's past. With its horizontal composition and timeless appeal, this print is not only an artistic masterpiece but also an invaluable window into our shared heritage.
