23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 captured by Reginald William Skelton during the British National Antarctic Expedition 1901-04, we are transported back in time to witness a moment of sheer determination and adventure. The image showcases three remarkable men - Dr Koettlitz, Bernacchi, and the carpenter Dailey - as they embark on an arduous journey towards the southwest. Standing proudly on the icy terrain, these brave explorers are harnessed to a fully loaded sledge that symbolizes their unwavering commitment to scientific exploration in one of Earth's most unforgiving environments. Their faces reflect both excitement and trepidation as they prepare themselves for what lies ahead. The ship Discovery looms behind them, held fast in the pack ice. This powerful vessel serves as a reminder of their connection to civilization and safety but also highlights their isolation amidst nature's frozen majesty. As snowflakes gently fall from above, creating an ethereal atmosphere around them, it becomes evident that these men possess an indomitable spirit fueled by curiosity and a thirst for discovery. They embody the very essence of human resilience against all odds. This extraordinary photograph is not just a testament to their bravery but also serves as a historical artifact preserved by the University of Cambridge SPRI (Scott Polar Research Institute). It allows us to glimpse into an era when intrepid souls pushed boundaries and ventured into uncharted territories with limited resources but boundless determination. Let this image serve as inspiration for future generations; reminding us that there is no limit to what humanity can achieve when driven by passion and guided by knowledge.
