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
Caption: "The Wreckers" by George Morland, a captivating 18th-century oil painting, captures the treacherous power of nature and the resilience of those who navigate its perils. Set against a stormy sea scape, this scene depicts a shipwrecked vessel being battered by crashing waves along a rugged coastline. In this dramatic portrayal, Morland skillfully portrays the strength of both man and nature. The injured crew members can be seen pulling ropes with all their might to salvage what they can from the wreckage. Despite facing imminent danger and uncertainty, their determination shines through as they unload barrels and luggage onto waiting carts on shore. The wind howls fiercely as it whips through billowing sails and tugs at every strand of rope. The towering cliffs loom ominously in the background while jagged rocks threaten to further damage the stranded ship. Morland's attention to detail is evident in his masterful brushstrokes that bring life to each wave crashing against the hull. His use of light adds depth and intensity to this gripping scene, highlighting both hope and despair amidst chaos. This evocative artwork serves as a reminder of humanity's constant battle with nature's forces. It invites viewers to reflect upon our own strengths when faced with adversity while contemplating the fragility of human existence in an unpredictable world dominated by wind, water, and rock.
