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 "The Skipper" we are transported back in time to the remarkable Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914-17, led by the legendary Ernest Shackleton. The photographer, Frank Hurley, skillfully captures a moment frozen in history at the Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge. At the center of this portrait stands Frank Worsley, a man whose unwavering determination and exceptional navigational skills earned him the title "The Skipper". Donning a balaclava to shield himself from the unforgiving Antarctic cold, Worsley exudes an air of quiet confidence and resilience. His weathered face tells tales of countless battles against nature's harshest elements. With binoculars firmly grasped in his hands, Worsley epitomizes leadership and foresight. Through those lenses lies not only his ability to survey vast icy landscapes but also his unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety and success of Shackleton's audacious expedition. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the immense challenges faced by these explorers during their ill-fated journey aboard Endurance. It encapsulates both their indomitable spirit and unyielding camaraderie amidst adversity. Preserved within this image is more than just historical documentation; it holds echoes of bravery that resonate across generations. It invites us to reflect on our own capacity for resilience when confronted with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. As we gaze upon "The Skipper" let us pay homage not only to Frank Worsley but also to all those who have dared venture into uncharted territories in pursuit of knowledge and discovery. This photograph serves as a testament to human curiosity and perseverance—an enduring symbol that continues to inspire new frontiers yet untrodden.
