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 engraving, titled "Construction of New London Bridge, 1826" takes us back in time to witness the monumental undertaking of building a new bridge over the Thames. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Augustus Wall Callcott, whose attention to detail brings every aspect of this construction site to life. In this scene, we are transported to September 1826 when work on the bridge was well underway. The bustling activity along the riverbank captures our attention as carts filled with materials line up alongside the water's edge. Skilled workers can be seen meticulously constructing what would become one of London's iconic landmarks. The sheer scale and complexity of this project are evident in every stroke of Callcott's engraving. The intricate architectural details showcase both the grandeur and functionality that were characteristic of bridges during that era. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but marvel at the ingenuity and craftsmanship required for such an ambitious endeavor. This particular artwork is part of a private collection and has been preserved immaculately throughout history. Its inclusion in Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection allows us a glimpse into an important chapter in London's history – a testament to human innovation and determination. As we admire this historical masterpiece by Bridgeman Images, let us reflect on how far we have come since those early days of bridge construction while appreciating the timeless beauty captured within these engraved lines.
