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 titled "EXPL2A-00231" takes us on a journey back in time to the treacherous Strait of Belle Isle in the Gulf of St Lawrence, Canada. Hand-colored and based on a 19th-century illustration, this vintage woodcut beautifully captures the essence of adventure and danger that characterized maritime exploration during the 16th to 19th centuries. The image showcases multiple shipwrecks scattered across the vast ocean, reminding us of the perils faced by navigators and explorers who braved these waters. It serves as a poignant reminder of the historic expeditions that shaped North America's colonial history. From Jacques Cartier's voyages to Gaspee Peninsula landings, French Canadian colonists embarked on daring journeys through this very strait. The artwork transports us to an era when ships were vital for discovery and trade routes like the Northwest Passage held great significance. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene, we can't help but marvel at how it encapsulates both beauty and tragedy. The rich colors bring life to each detail while simultaneously highlighting the fragility of these vessels against nature's might. This print from North Wind Picture Archives is not just a piece of art; it is a portal into our collective past—a testament to human resilience, curiosity, and our unyielding desire for exploration.
