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.

The renowned American explorer, known for his relentless pursuit of reaching the North Pole, is seen distributing gifts to Eskimos in Greenland. The late 19th or early 20th-century image captures Peary on the deck of his ship, surrounded by native Eskimo men wearing traditional fur clothing. With a barrel at his side filled with treasures from distant lands, he stands tall as an Indian man eagerly receives a gift from him. Peary's dedication to exploration and discovery is palpable in this snapshot frozen in time. His interactions with the local community demonstrate not only his generosity but also his respect for different cultures and traditions. The exterior setting showcases the harsh Arctic environment that Peary faced during his expeditions. The leather-clad explorers and their sturdy ship serve as reminders of the challenges they encountered while navigating through treacherous icy waters. This photograph offers us a glimpse into an era when adventurers like Robert Peary pushed boundaries and embarked on daring journeys into uncharted territories.
