Charles Darwin and Captain Fitzroy share the evening air as a signal gun is fired to recall Beagle's surveying party...

Geoff Hunt writes about his painting: "I rather like this little nocturnal scene which I came across on reading the master's logbook. Beagle was about to leave the Galapagos on 18th October, having already re-embarked Darwin's party. But first she had to pick up one of the boats, the yawl, which had been detached on the 8th October under the command of the Master, Edward Chaffers, to survey the three small northern islands (so presumably this log was kept for that time by one of the Mates or the Master's Assistant, Alexander Usborne). After sunset, the ship being hove-to off the northern end of Albemarle Island '... fired 2 Guns and hoisted a light as a signal to yawl....' although in fact the rendezvous was not effected until 9 the following morning. That done, and all her business in the Galapagos being concluded, the Beagle '.... Bore up and made all Sail', bound for Tahiti."

Framing

PRINTS & PAINTINGS ON PAPER 

We use a simple classic frame, gold finish over a black ground, approximately 1 3/4 inches (4.4 cm) in width with off-white acid-free mount 2 1/2 to 3 inches (6.5 - 7.5 cm) wide. Pictures are framed under glass and fitted with wire ready for hanging.

For larger pictures that are to be shipped we can use perspex instead of glass for security in transit - we may contact you to discuss this. Frame example shown above. 

PRINTS & PAINTINGS ON CANVAS

For pictures on canvas we use a simple classic frame with a gold finish and a white slip next to the canvas, approximately 3 1/2 inches (9 cm) in width. Pictures are framed like an oil painting with no glass and fitted with wire ready for hanging. Frame example shown above.
