A resolute figure in a blue coat, hat athwart, stares fixedly into the morning light following every move of his prey...

Here is Geoff Hunt's own description of this wonderful image:

"Aficionados of the Aubrey/Maturin series will know this scene, representing the start of Lieutenant Jack Aubrey's long run of luck, as his brig Sophie sights her very first prize and goes in hot pursuit. It is late afternoon off the Spanish Mediterranean coast; after a long chase overnight, Jack cleverly anticipates his prey's evasive change of course in the darkness, and traps her at first light. His brig is fictional; though both she and her actions are modelled otherwise exactly upon Cochrane's Speedy, Speedy had nothing like this imposing spread of stern windows. As for the polacre, the term was applied to a variety of hull types and sizes, usually Mediterranean in origin and rigged with one or more lateen sails, but it meant only that the masts were in one piece - a pole in fact - rather than made up of several sections as are Sophie's."

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.
