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
In this evocative image from the Mary Evans Picture Library, the ships HMS Erebus and Terror are seen leaving England's shores for the final time on May 19, 1845, embarking on Sir John Franklin's ill-fated polar expedition. The Victorian era's most ambitious Arctic exploration endeavor aimed to discover the long-sought Northwest Passage and secure British dominance in the global maritime trade. The Erebus and Terror, both newly refitted and equipped for the harsh Arctic conditions, were manned by a crew of 129 officers and men, along with their families and scientific team. As they sailed away from the safety of English harbors, the excitement of the voyage was tinged with a sense of trepidation, as the Arctic's unforgiving climate and treacherous waters had claimed countless ships and lives before. The expedition, which marked Sir John Franklin's third attempt to navigate the Northwest Passage, was expected to take three years. However, the ships and their crew were never seen or heard from again. The loss of Franklin and his crew remains one of the greatest mysteries in maritime history, with the first definitive evidence of their fate not emerging until 2014, when the remains of the Erebus were discovered in the Canadian Arctic. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a poignant reminder of the brave men and their ships that set sail on this historic but ultimately tragic journey into the unknown, leaving England's shores and venturing into the Arctic's unforgiving waters in search of discovery and progress.
