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.

Norfolk Island as a Penal Settlement: A Detailed Drawing from 1853 This drawing, created in 1853, offers a unique glimpse into the past as it depicts the layout of Norfolk Island during its tenure as a penal settlement. The Pacific island, located between Australia and New Zealand, served as a place of exile for convicts from the late 1820s to the early 1850s. The image reveals various structures that were integral to the daily life of the penal colony. At the center, the Commissariat and magazine (1) stood as the primary supply store and government office. Nearby, military barracks (2, 4) housed the soldiers responsible for maintaining order and security. A parade ground (3) is shown adjacent to the barracks, where drills and inspections took place. The cottages (5) were the quarters for staff and civil officers, while constables' quarters (6, 12) were situated closer to the gaol (10). Prisoners' bunks were located in the rear of the gaol, and a hospital (9) was present to cater to the medical needs of both the convicts and the military personnel. Captain Cook's Bay (7) is depicted in the background, providing a picturesque contrast to the more utilitarian structures. The civil commandant's residence (8) is also visible, offering a glimpse into the living conditions of those in positions of authority. A group of prisoners is shown returning from work (11), adding a sense of reality to the otherwise static image. This drawing offers a fascinating insight into the layout and daily life of Norfolk Island during its time as a penal settlement.
