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 engraving titled "Robbery of the diligence" transports us back to the 19th century, a time when crime and criminality were rampant. The detailed illustration depicts a daring theft taking place on a horse-drawn carriage, known as a diligence. The scene is filled with tension and suspense as the robbers execute their plan with precision. Created by an Australian School artist in the late 19th century, this engraving was originally featured in Thomas W Knox's book "The Underground World," published in 1879. It offers viewers a glimpse into the dark underworld of thefts and robberies that plagued society during that era. The black and white composition adds to the dramatic effect of the image, highlighting every intricate detail of the robbery unfolding before our eyes. From the expressions on the faces of both thieves and victims to the architectural elements of the setting, every aspect has been carefully crafted by the skilled engraver. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of how transportation systems have evolved over time while crime remains an unfortunate constant in human society. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our shared past and sheds light on themes that continue to resonate with audiences today.
