23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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 a significant moment in history - Pope Pius IX in Velletri on March 11,1863. The image, taken by an anonymous European photographer from the 19th century, showcases the Pope kneeling beside a railway track. This powerful illustration was featured in the book "Historic Events 1839-1939" by Helmut and Alison Gernsheim. The photograph symbolizes the intersection of tradition and progress as it portrays one of the most influential figures of Catholicism alongside emerging technology. In the background, a post chaise can be seen juxtaposed with a modern pullman car, representing advancements in transportation during that era. Pope Pius IX's presence at this location suggests his endorsement of these technological developments or perhaps his desire to bless their implementation. His posture exudes humility and reverence amidst societal changes brought about by industrialization. This image is part of a private collection but has been made available through Bridgeman Images for historical enthusiasts to appreciate. It serves as a reminder that even prominent religious leaders were not immune to the influence of progress and innovation during this transformative period in human history.
