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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the thrilling moment of the capture of the Algerian corsair xebec, L'Uccello, by the Genoese galleys Taggia and San Giorgio on August 11, 1788, near San Remo in the Mediterranean Sea. The image, filled with dynamic energy and intrigue, captures the intensity of the naval battle that unfolded between the Algerian Berbers and the Genoese squadron. The Algerian corsair xebec, L'Uccello, a sleek and agile boat, is shown in the foreground, with its crew members engaged in a desperate attempt to repel the Genoese attack. The Berber wrestlers, clad in turbans and loincloths, are seen wrestling with the Genoese sailors who have managed to board the xebec. The collision between the two boats is evident, with the Genoese galleys, Taggia and San Giorgio, looming in the background, their cannons at the ready. The scene is a testament to the fierce naval battles that took place in the Mediterranean during this period, as European powers vied for control of the sea routes and trade. The Genoese galleys, with their heavy armor and powerful cannons, were a formidable force against the lighter and more agile corsair crafts of the Berbers. This engraving, a stunning example of the art of the time, is now housed in the Navy Museum in Pegli, Genoa, Italy. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Mediterranean was a battleground for power and wealth.
