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.

This print showcases the enigmatic "Portrait of Sir Francis Drake" from 1641, a masterpiece created by an anonymous artist. The portrait, now held in a private collection, offers a glimpse into the life and persona of one of history's most renowned buccaneers. Sir Francis Drake, depicted with striking detail and finesse in this baroque-style copper engraving, emerges as a legendary figure who navigated the treacherous waters of piracy and privateering during his time. The image portrays Drake with an air of authority and adventure befitting his reputation as a corsair. His piercing gaze captures both determination and cunning, reflecting the essence of this daring seafarer. In the background looms a majestic galleon—a symbol of Drake's audacious voyages across oceans teeming with danger. As we delve into this graphic artwork, we are transported to an era when piracy was not only feared but also romanticized. This portrait immortalizes Sir Francis Drake as more than just a pirate; he becomes an emblematic figure embodying courage and audacity. The fine artistry evident in every stroke invites us to appreciate not only the technical skill behind its creation but also its historical significance. It serves as a reminder that even those labeled pirates can leave indelible marks on our collective memory. With each glance at this remarkable piece, we are reminded that beneath the surface lies much more than meets the eye—a testament to both artistic prowess and human fascination with tales of adventure
