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 illustration captures the moment when Sir Ernest Shackleton, the intrepid leader of the Nimrod Antarctic Expedition of 1908-09, addressed the prestigious Royal Geographical Society at the Albert Hall in London on December 9, 1909. With a sense of excitement and anticipation, Shackleton stood before an attentive audience, passionately sharing his experiences and discoveries from his groundbreaking journey to the frozen continent. The historical image, published in The Illustrated London News on January 22, 1910, shows Shackleton using lantern-slides to illustrate his lecture, one of which is prominently displayed behind him. The slides would have provided the audience with a visual representation of the harsh and unforgiving landscape that the explorers had braved, as well as the scientific data and discoveries they had made. Shackleton's Nimrod Expedition is considered one of the most successful Antarctic expeditions of all time. The team made significant progress towards reaching the South Pole, coming within just 97 miles of the goal. Although they ultimately fell short of their objective, the expedition made important contributions to scientific knowledge and set numerous records for exploration in the polar regions. This illustration offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the spirit of adventure and exploration knew no bounds. Sir Ernest Shackleton's lecture at the Albert Hall marked a pivotal moment in the history of polar exploration, inspiring future generations of adventurers and scientists to push the boundaries of human endurance and discovery.
