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
is a captivating print that takes us back to the innovative era of the 19th century. Designed by Andrew Campbell and James Ash, this British submarine was powered by electricity, showcasing the advancements in technology during that time. The print depicts the Nautilus undergoing trials off Tilbury in 1886, as it submerged beneath the waters of the River Thames. However, an unfortunate turn of events occurred when the vessel became stuck in muddy depths on the riverbed. The crew onboard faced a race against time as their air supply dwindled. Thankfully, just before running out of air, they managed to free themselves from their precarious situation and rise back to safety. This incident highlights both the risks involved in early submarine exploration and also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. The engraving captures not only this dramatic moment but also showcases Victorian-era craftsmanship with intricate details depicting every aspect of this groundbreaking invention. The image transports us into a world where science fiction meets reality—a world where humans dared to explore uncharted territories underwater. This historical artifact serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technological advancements while honoring those who paved the way for modern submarines. It stands as evidence that even amidst challenges and setbacks, human curiosity continues to push boundaries for progress in transportation and scientific discovery.
