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 evocative photograph, titled "Endurance at Midwinter, 1915," captures the frozen and forlorn state of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition's ship, Endurance, during its entrapment in the pack ice. Taken by the expedition's official photographer, Frank Hurley (1885-1962), at the Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge, this image is a poignant reminder of the harsh realities faced by Sir Ernest Shackleton and his team during their ill-fated attempt to cross the Antarctic continent from sea to sea. The Endurance, a sturdy ship designed for the icy conditions, had become trapped in the pack ice off the coast of the frozen continent in late 1914. As the ice continued to press against the vessel, the crew was eventually forced to abandon ship in April 1916. They spent months enduring the extreme conditions of the Antarctic, eventually setting sail in lifeboats for the uninhabited Elephant Island. Despite the hardships, the crew's morale remained high, and they managed to survive through their ingenuity and determination. Hurley's photograph, taken during the long, dark Antarctic winter of 1915, provides a glimpse into the desolate and isolated existence of the stranded explorers. The Endurance, once a symbol of human ambition and exploration, now lies helplessly encased in the ice, a stark reminder of the power of nature and the indomitable spirit of those who faced its challenges. This photograph, a testament to Hurley's skill as a photographer and his ability to capture the essence of the expedition, is a valuable historical record of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition and a poignant reminder of the human spirit's ability to endure even in the most inhospitable of environments.
