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.

This 19th-century line engraving, titled "NANTUCKET: FISHING HAUL" takes us back in time to the shores of Nantucket, Massachusetts. The print showcases a remarkable scene of fishermen proudly displaying their catch - a captured porpoise and blackfish. The image transports us to an era when fishing was not only a means of survival but also an art form. The skilled hands and unwavering determination of these men are evident as they stand beside their prized haul. Their weathered faces tell tales of countless hours spent at sea, battling the elements and braving the unknown. The beached carcasses lay before them, symbols of triumph over nature's mighty forces. These creatures were not merely sustenance; they represented conquest and resilience in the face of adversity. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we can almost smell the salty air and feel the cool ocean breeze on our skin. It serves as a reminder that Nantucket's rich maritime heritage is deeply intertwined with its people's lives. Beyond its artistic value, this engraving offers insights into zoology and marine biology during that period. It provides valuable documentation for researchers seeking to understand North American marine life from centuries past.
