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 "NOOTKA DWELLING, 1778" offers a glimpse into the daily life of Nootka Native Americans in the late 18th century. Captured by John Webber, an artist on Captain James Cook's voyage, this watercolor showcases a multifamily dwelling at Nootka Sound on Vancouver Island's Pacific coast. The focal point of the image is a group of Nootka Native Americans roasting fish over an open fire inside the dwelling. The smoke from the fire fills the room as men and women crouch or kneel around it, tending to their cooking. The wooden platform they sit on is adorned with intricate carvings depicting family emblems, adding cultural significance to their surroundings. Children can be seen seated or standing nearby, observing and learning from their elders' activities. The interior of the dwelling features a low ceiling made of woven mats and beams supporting it. A bench against one wall provides seating while individuals wear traditional clothing such as shawls and hats. This artwork not only captures a moment in time but also serves as an important historical record for understanding First Nation culture in the Pacific Northwest region. It highlights both domestic scenes like cooking and drying fish for sustenance while showcasing elements like totem poles that hold spiritual importance within Nootka society. Overall, this watercolor print invites viewers to appreciate the rich heritage and daily rituals of Nootka Native Americans during this significant period in history.
