1875 Aboard Aimed Aloud Exploration Morning Nares Polar Record Restore Sunday
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 print captures a moment of Sunday morning service aboard the Alert during the Nares expedition in 1875. The expedition, led by Captain George Nares, aimed to restore Britain's claim to the farthest north record with their ships Alert and Discovery. As the crew gathers for worship on deck, you can almost hear the sound of hymns being sung aloud and prayers being offered up for safe passage through treacherous polar waters.
The historical significance of this image is palpable as it transports us back to a time when exploration was at its peak and brave men ventured into unknown territories in search of discovery. The events that unfolded aboard the Alert during this fateful expedition are etched into history, reminding us of the courage and determination required to push boundaries and expand our understanding of the world around us.
As we gaze upon this scene from over a century ago, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who came before us in pursuit of knowledge and adventure. This print serves as a poignant reminder of our shared human history and the enduring spirit of exploration that continues to drive us forward today.
