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 print from Mary Evans Prints Online captures a dramatic moment in history - the attack of a surveying party of British sailors from HMS Nassau by natives of Tierra del Fuego in 1867. Tierra del Fuego, a region divided between Argentina and Chile, was known for its rugged terrain and hostile indigenous populations.
In this image, we see the British sailors caught off guard as they are ambushed by the fierce natives of Tierra del Fuego. The chaos and violence of the attack are palpable, with weapons raised and expressions of fear and determination on both sides.
The historical significance of this event cannot be understated. It serves as a stark reminder of the dangers faced by early explorers and surveyors in unknown lands, where encounters with indigenous peoples could quickly turn violent.
Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in colonial history. The bravery and resilience of the British sailors is evident as they fight to defend themselves against overwhelming odds.
Overall, this image is not just a snapshot from the past - it is a powerful testament to the complexities and conflicts that have shaped our world throughout history.
