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 evocative image captures the historic moment when Queen Elizabeth I bestowed the honor of knighthood upon the intrepid explorer, Sir Francis Drake, on board his renowned vessel, the Golden Hind. The date was April 4, 1581, and the location was Deptford, London. Drake's daring circumnavigation of the globe had recently come to an end, making him the first Englishman to accomplish such a feat. The Queen, resplendent in her regal attire, is depicted standing on the deck of the ship, her white farthingale gown contrasting sharply against the dark wood and rough textures of the vessel. With a regal expression, she places the tip of her scepter on Drake's shoulder, as the knight bows humbly in submission. The Golden Hind, adorned with exotic treasures and trophies from Drake's voyage, serves as the backdrop to this momentous occasion. The granting of a knighthood was a significant honor, and Drake's achievement in completing the first successful circumnavigation of the world made him an iconic figure in English history. This event not only solidified Drake's status as a national hero but also demonstrated Queen Elizabeth's support for her seafaring subjects and their daring exploits. This print, a testament to the rich history of exploration and the enduring bond between the monarch and her people, continues to fascinate and inspire generations.
