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.

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 takes us back to the 17th century, specifically to the year 1699, when one of history's most notorious pirates, Captain Kidd, surrendered himself to authorities in New England for his acts of piracy. The hand-colored woodcut captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing a vintage illustration from the 19th century. In this historic scene, we witness the arrest of William Kidd, known as both a privateer and buccaneer who turned to piracy. The image transports us to an era filled with maritime adventures and tales of daring exploits on the high seas. It serves as a reminder that even those who once sailed under British colors could succumb to temptation and become outlaws. The artistry behind this woodcut adds depth and character to the illustration while preserving its authenticity. Through careful coloring techniques, every detail comes alive – from Captain Kidd's stern expression as he surrenders himself willingly into custody to the intricate design of his pirate attire. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history captured through art, it sparks our curiosity about Captain Kidd's life and legacy. This print offers a glimpse into an intriguing chapter in British and United States history where piracy played a significant role. Let it serve as a testament not only to Captain Kidd but also as a window into an era long gone yet forever preserved through artistic interpretation.
