23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 titled "Turtle Fishing" takes us back to the year 1571, on the shores of Saint-Domingue (modern Haiti) in the Caribbean. The image is an illustration from the renowned book Histoire Generale des Antilles Habitees par les Francais by Jean-Baptiste du Tertre. In this scene, a group of buccaneers can be seen engaging in their unique method of turtle fishing. Only men are present, rowing a small boat with great determination and skill. Their focus is solely on capturing these magnificent creatures that inhabit the surrounding waters. Adding an element of intrigue to this composition is a vibrant parrot perched upon one of the pirate's shoulders. This exotic bird serves as a reminder of both the diverse animal life found in this region and perhaps even hints at hidden treasures awaiting discovery. The artist masterfully captures early pirate themes within this landscape format photograph, transporting viewers to an era filled with adventure and uncertainty. The attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind such scenes. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Hulton Archive's collection, it evokes curiosity about our past and reminds us how art can transport us through time, allowing us glimpses into worlds long gone.
