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 breathtaking photograph captures the raw beauty and untouched landscape of New Zealand, as documented during the historic voyage of H.M.S. Challenger between 1872 and 1876. Funded by the British Government for scientific purposes, this expedition is believed to be the first to carry an official photographer, who captured moments like this one, preserving the wonders of the far-off lands of Australasia for the world to see. The image depicts a serene rural scene in New Zealand, with rolling hills covered in lush green vegetation, dotted with sheep grazing peacefully. The clear blue sky overhead is speckled with fluffy white clouds, while the sun casts a warm glow over the landscape, bathing it in a golden light. In the distance, the topography transitions into rugged mountains, adding to the sense of adventure and discovery that characterized the Challenger expedition. The photograph is a testament to the spirit of exploration and scientific inquiry that drove the voyage of H.M.S. Challenger. The crew, including the onboard photographer, set out to chart the world's oceans and study its geology, zoology, and natural history. Their discoveries revolutionized the scientific community's understanding of the ocean and its inhabitants, paving the way for future expeditions and advancements in marine research. This photograph, taken during a daytime hour, showcases the scenic beauty of New Zealand's countryside, inviting us to imagine the sense of awe and wonder that the Challenger crew must have felt as they explored this new and exotic land. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs, and a reminder of the enduring allure of adventure and discovery.
