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 hand-colored woodcut takes us back to the 1560s, capturing a significant moment in history when French colonists were building a ship at Archers Creek in South Carolina. Left behind by Jean Ribault, these determined settlers embarked on an ambitious shipbuilding project that would shape the course of their colonial expedition. The image showcases the dedication and craftsmanship of these early pioneers as they construct this vessel from scratch. The scene is filled with an air of nostalgia, transporting us to a time when ocean exploration was still in its infancy. The vintage aesthetic adds to the charm and authenticity of this print, reminding us of our American heritage and the rich history embedded within Southern traditions. As we gaze upon this illustration, we are reminded of the vastness and beauty of the Atlantic Ocean that awaited these brave explorers. It serves as a testament to their unwavering spirit and determination in establishing colonies across North America. This artwork not only captures a pivotal moment in French colonial history but also pays homage to all those who played a part in shaping what would eventually become the United States. It stands as a timeless reminder of our collective past and invites us to reflect on how far we have come since those early days of sailboat construction along South Carolina's shores.
