FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 captures the monumental moment when the 'Great Eastern' was utilized in the creation of the Atlantic Telegraph in 1850. The image showcases the intermediate paddle-shaft being carefully lowered onto the deck of this impressive vessel, which played a crucial role in laying down undersea telegraph cables across the vast Atlantic Ocean.
During the 19th century, advancements in communication technology were revolutionizing global connectivity, and the construction of transatlantic telegraph cables was a groundbreaking achievement that brought distant continents closer together. The 'Great Eastern' served as a vital tool in this ambitious endeavor, symbolizing human ingenuity and determination to overcome challenges posed by nature and distance.
The engraving beautifully captures the intricate details of this historic moment, highlighting not only technical aspects such as faulty connections and maintenance but also showcasing the sheer scale and power of this engineering marvel. As we gaze upon this image from centuries past, we are reminded of how far we have come in our quest for instant communication and interconnectedness across oceans.
