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 photograph, taken by the renowned British photographer Herbert Ponting on January 5,1911, during the British Antarctic Expedition 1910-13, presents a breathtaking scene of a grotto nestled within an iceberg. The icy labyrinth, with its intricate patterns and textures, stands as a testament to the raw power and beauty of nature in the Antarctic. In the background, the expedition's ship, Terra Nova, can be seen anchored in the tranquil waters, adding a sense of scale and human presence to the otherwise untouched landscape. The interior of the iceberg, illuminated by the soft glow of daylight filtering through the ice, reveals a hidden world of crystalline formations and shimmering pools. Two figures, identified as Taylor and Wright, can be seen exploring this icy wonderland, their small silhouettes dwarfed by the vast expanse of ice around them. This photograph, taken by Ponting during the historic expedition led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott, offers a glimpse into the awe-inspiring landscapes and discoveries that shaped our understanding of the Antarctic. The image, now held at the Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge, continues to captivate audiences and inspire future explorers and researchers.
