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
This evocative image captures the moment of departure for the emigrant ship Artemisia as it sets sail from Britain towards Moreton Bay, New South Wales, Australia in 1848. The top portion of the photograph shows the ship in full regalia, cutting through the waves with sails billowing in the wind. The bottom half of the image reveals the human side of this historic journey, with emigrants huddled on the deck, their faces etched with a mix of anticipation and apprehension. The 1840s saw a significant increase in emigration from Europe to Australia, driven by economic hardship and the promise of a better life in the colonies. The Artemisia, one of many ships making the long voyage, carried hundreds of passengers, including families and individuals seeking a new beginning. The journey was not an easy one. Conditions on board were cramped, and the long voyage across the Atlantic and Indian Oceans was fraught with danger. Disease, storms, and the ever-present threat of piracy were constant challenges. Yet, despite these hardships, the lure of a new life in Australia proved too strong for many. The image of the Artemisia and its passengers serves as a poignant reminder of the human stories behind the historical records. It is a testament to the courage and determination of those who left their homeland in search of a better future, and to the enduring allure of the land down under.
