A Cape Horner is a vessel that has passed Cape Horn in either direction; this mythical cape is the most southerly of South America.

The Bordes armament (or A-D Bordes or Bordes et Fils armament) was a French shipping company from 1868 to 1935, mainly from Bordeaux and Dunkirk, which found itself at the forefront of maritime transport by sail in the first quarter of the twentieth century1.

The Bordes armament will have employed a total of 127 ships, including the Antoinette; it is a three-masted schooner built in 1902-1903 in Nantes (it was the last three-masted merchant launched in France) and which ran aground on January 6, 1912 on the shore of Tréguennec.

At the end of the 1860s, the port of Nantes was outfitting a few Cape Horn sailboats. In the 1890s the Nantes shipowners took an important place in the commercial life of the Cape Horn route.

This creation is a mixture of three-mast and four-mast to which comes a vintage stamp issued by France in 1971.

This stamp is attached to the A4 print using a transparent envelope that protects it.

This creation is a unique piece like everything I create and it is a gift idea for those who love the history of the navy and sailboats,

and philatelists, because they will not have this SINGLE copy.

The print was made on high quality A4 gloss photo paper: 280 gsm.

You can keep this assembly in a plastic sleeve, to collect it in a filing cabinet.

Another solution, put it in a frame to decorate your interior.

So it can be used as decoration in an entrance, a living room, a library, a dining room or a bedroom. It will be a reasonably priced work of art that you can give as a gift, whether you are a collector or not.

An example of a frame is shown in the last view: it is an Ottenbach wooden frame in the color Nuss mit Goldkante.

ATTENTION, THIS FRAME IS NOT PROVIDED.
