1815 Captured Helena Interest Napoleon Shark Travelling Watches
31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 print from Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back to September 1815, on board the Northumberland as Napoleon Bonaparte travels to Saint Helena. The image captures a moment of historical significance as Napoleon watches with keen interest while a shark is being captured.
The scene is filled with tension and intrigue, reflecting the turbulent events surrounding Napoleon's exile to the remote island of Saint Helena following his defeat at Waterloo. His piercing gaze and stoic demeanor hint at the complex emotions he must have been experiencing during this tumultuous time in history.
