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 photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the raw beauty of Alaska's Nunivak Island in 1929. In this rare glimpse into early Alaskan life, we see an Eskimo man seated confidently in his kayak, poised to throw a harpoon with precision and skill. Dressed in traditional Arctic clothing, the hunter exudes strength and determination as he prepares for his daily fishing expedition. His weathered face tells tales of resilience and survival amidst the harsh conditions of the Alaskan wilderness. The iconic hat atop his head shields him from the elements while adding a touch of cultural authenticity to this powerful image. Edward Curtis, renowned for his documentation of Native American tribes across America during this era, masterfully captures both the physicality and spirituality inherent in this scene. The stark contrast between man and nature is palpable as he readies himself to navigate through icy waters towards sustenance. The photograph transports us back to a time when hunting was not just a means for survival but also deeply intertwined with native traditions and identity. It serves as a reminder of our connection to nature's bounty and how indigenous communities have long relied on their intimate knowledge of these landscapes. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Granger Art on Demand, we are reminded that Alaska's history is richly woven with stories like these – tales that deserve recognition and appreciation for their contribution to our collective heritage.
