23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary figure of Sir Francis Drake, a renowned English explorer and naval captain who lived from 1545 to 1596. Known for his daring voyages and military exploits, Drake played a significant role in British history as one of the most famous seamen of the Elizabethan era.
In this image, Sir Francis Drake is depicted aboard his ship, exuding an air of confidence and authority as he navigates through uncharted waters. The intricate details of the vessel showcase the craftsmanship and skill that went into its construction, highlighting the technological advancements of the time.
The presence of native figures in the background hints at Drake's encounters with indigenous populations during his explorations, adding a layer of complexity to his legacy. Despite being viewed as a hero in England for his victories against Spanish forces, Drake's interactions with native peoples have been subject to scrutiny and debate over the years.
This print serves as a reminder of both the triumphs and controversies surrounding Sir Francis Drake's life and career. It offers viewers a glimpse into an important chapter in maritime history while also raising questions about colonialism, exploration, and cultural exchange during this period.
