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 print titled "The New Harbour Works at Madras" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the remarkable engineering feat that transformed the bay of Bengal. The image captures a bustling scene of construction in progress, with workers diligently creating concrete blocks for the harbor works. In this snapshot, we witness a symphony of activity as cranes hoist heavy blocks into place while others meticulously arrange them in a straight line along the yard. The setting is awe-inspiring, with the vast expanse of water stretching out towards the horizon and a majestic lighthouse standing tall on the north pier. The significance of this image goes beyond its artistic appeal; it provides valuable insight into India's rich history and cultural heritage. Chennai (formerly known as Madras) was an important port city during colonial times, serving as a gateway to Asia for trade and commerce. This engraving symbolizes both human ingenuity and resilience in overcoming geographical challenges. As we admire this historical masterpiece captured by an anonymous English School artist, we are reminded of India's indomitable spirit and its ability to adapt and evolve over time. It serves as a testament to how infrastructure projects can shape societies and pave the way for progress. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this print allows us to delve into our shared past while appreciating the beauty found within industrial landscapes.
