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 print captures the haunting beauty of the abandoned Norwegian whaling station at Grytviken, nestled in East Cumberland Bay on South Georgia Island. The Polar Regions' desolate charm is evident as a backdrop to this horizontal, color image. With overcast skies adding an air of mystery, the dilapidated buildings and architecture stand as silent witnesses to a bygone era. The snow-covered mountain range frames the scene, emphasizing the harshness of winter in this remote location. The calm sea water surrounding Grytviken reflects both its tranquil present and tumultuous past as a bustling hub for whaling activities. Rusty remnants scattered across the landscape serve as poignant reminders of an industry long gone. In this daytime shot devoid of any human presence, one can't help but imagine the stories that these architectural relics hold within their walls. As history comes alive through this photograph, it transports viewers back to a time when Grytviken was filled with life and purpose. South Georgia's subantarctic islands provide an awe-inspiring backdrop for nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike. This travel destination offers unparalleled scenic beauty combined with rich cultural heritage. Michael S. Nolan's skillful lens has captured all these elements in one frame, making it a must-have addition for those who appreciate both natural wonders and historical significance.
