Framed Black and White Print of a Schooner

This item is a framed art print featuring a monochromatic image of a large sailing vessel, likely a schooner, with multiple masts and sails fully deployed, appearing to be in motion across water, creating a wake. The print is predominantly black and white, giving it a classic and potentially historic aesthetic. It is housed within a substantial wooden frame, which exhibits a rich, reddish-brown hue with visible grain and a polished, perhaps lacquered, finish. The frame has a multi-stepped profile, featuring a prominent inner raised edge, followed by a flatter section, and then a slightly wider, rounded outer edge. An inner black border is visible, possibly as part of the matting or as a narrow fillet, which frames the print itself, preceding a wider, off-white or cream-colored mat. The overall condition of the visible frame appears to be excellent, with no obvious cracks, chips, or significant scratches, suggesting good care or recent framing. The print itself seems clear and well-preserved within the frame, protected behind what is assumed to be glass or acrylic. The subject matter suggests a maritime theme, appealing to enthusiasts of sailing, naval history, or classic photography/illustration. The visible craftsmanship of the frame points to a well-made presentation, indicative of a quality framing job rather than a mass-produced, low-end piece. The estimated age of the print and the vessel depicted could be late 19th to early 20th century based on the style of the ship and the archival black and white presentation, but the framing itself could be more contemporary.
