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
In this print titled "Shackleton. Return of Southern Party after 126 days journey" we are transported back to the remarkable British Antarctic Expedition of 1907-09, led by the indomitable Ernest Shackleton. The image captures a momentous occasion as Shackleton and his team return from their arduous 126-day journey through the unforgiving southern wilderness. Standing on the deck of the mighty ship Nimrod, Shackleton's commanding presence is palpable. His rugged figure exudes both exhaustion and triumph, a testament to his unwavering determination in pushing the boundaries of human exploration. As he gazes into the distance, one can only imagine the emotions coursing through his mind - pride for what they have achieved, relief at having survived against all odds, and perhaps even a tinge of melancholy for leaving behind an awe-inspiring landscape that few have witnessed. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and adventure in some of Earth's most inhospitable regions. It encapsulates not just an expedition but also embodies courage, resilience, and camaraderie amongst those who dare to venture into uncharted territories. Preserved by the prestigious Scott Polar Research Institute at University of Cambridge (SPRI), this print stands as a testament to their commitment in preserving our collective history and scientific heritage. Through such visual artifacts, we gain insight into past expeditions that shaped our understanding of Antarctica while honoring those intrepid explorers who risked everything for discovery.
