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 captured by renowned photographer Frank Hurley, we are transported back in time to the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914-17. The image showcases two brave souls, Captain Worsley and Reginald James, diligently engaged in taking observations amidst the unforgiving Antarctic landscape. As they stand side by side, their faces etched with determination and resilience, one can only imagine the extreme conditions they faced during this historic expedition led by Ernest Shackleton. With freezing temperatures and treacherous terrain surrounding them, these men epitomize the spirit of exploration and adventure that defined this remarkable journey. Hurley's expert composition allows us to appreciate not only the vastness of the icy wilderness but also the camaraderie between Worsley and James. Their synchronized movements suggest a seamless collaboration as they meticulously record vital data for scientific research. The Scott Polar Research Institute at the University of Cambridge is fortunate to house such an invaluable piece of history within its archives. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit to conquer uncharted territories despite insurmountable odds. It is through visual treasures like these that we gain insight into past expeditions' triumphs and tribulations. They remind us that even in our modern age where technology dominates exploration, there remains something awe-inspiring about those who ventured into unknown realms armed with little more than sheer determination. This print encapsulates both bravery and curiosity; it invites us to reflect on our own capacity for discovery while paying homage to those who paved the way for future explorers. It stands as a testament to human resilience against nature's harshest elements – an enduring symbol of mankind's indomitable spirit in pursuit of knowledge beyond boundaries.
