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.

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 exquisite drawing of H.M.S. Beagle, taken from A Naturalist's Voyage Round the World by Charles Darwin (1912), offers a captivating glimpse into the historic maritime adventure that significantly shaped the scientific world. The Beagle, a British Royal Navy ship, is best known for its transformative voyage between 1831 and 1836, during which Darwin, then an unassuming naturalist, embarked on a journey that would lead to his groundbreaking theories on evolution and the natural world. The illustration reveals the Beagle in all its glory, with its sails fully hoisted and its rigging taut against the wind. The ship's strong, sturdy frame stands out against the vast expanse of the turquoise sea, evoking a sense of both strength and vulnerability as it braves the elements. The intricate details of the ship's design, from the cannons lining the deck to the rigging and sails, are rendered with meticulous precision, making this drawing not only a historical document but also a work of art. The Beagle's voyage took Darwin to various parts of the world, including South America, the Galapagos Islands, and the Pacific Ocean. It was during this time that Darwin observed and collected a wealth of data on a diverse range of species, which would later form the foundation of his theory of evolution by natural selection. This drawing serves as a poignant reminder of the pivotal role that the H.M.S. Beagle and its crew played in the development of modern scientific thought. In this illustration, we see not just a ship, but a symbol of exploration, discovery, and the relentless pursuit of knowledge. It is a testament to the power of curiosity and the transformative impact of a single voyage on the course of human history.
