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.

Peche du Cachalot - A Glimpse into the Thrilling World of Whaling
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This aquatint print, created in 1835 by Ambroise Louis Garneray and Frederic Martens, offers a fascinating window into the perilous world of whaling. Titled "Peche du Cachalot" or "Sperm Whale Fishing" this artwork transports us to an era when brave men set sail on treacherous seas in pursuit of these magnificent creatures. The scene depicted is filled with action and drama. A sturdy sailboat battles against towering waves as it navigates through the vast ocean. The sailors are shown engaged in their dangerous task, armed with harpoons ready to strike at any moment. In the distance, a majestic sperm whale breaches the surface, its immense size emphasized by its proximity to the tiny ship. Garneray and Martens skillfully capture both the raw power of nature and human determination through their intricate detailing and use of shading techniques. The play between light and shadow adds depth to every wave, while seagulls soar above, adding an element of life amidst this intense struggle. This print from Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection serves as a powerful reminder of our complex relationship with nature throughout history. It invites viewers to reflect upon humanity's relentless pursuit for resources while acknowledging both the bravery and consequences that come with such endeavors.
