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
On the Switchback, At the Irish Exhibition, Go Ahead, but Safe". This print captures a moment of exhilaration and caution intertwined. Taken at the Irish Exhibition in 1888, it depicts a thrilling roller coaster ride known as "The Switchback". The vibrant colors of this lithograph by Tom Merry bring to life an era long gone. In this lively scene, we witness individuals from different walks of life coming together to experience the thrill of the ride. Among them is Robert Arthur Cecil, Marquis of Salisbury - a prominent political figure who supported the Local Government Bill that aimed to reform governance structures. His presence symbolizes unity between political parties for a common cause. As we delve deeper into this image, our attention is drawn towards William Gladstone - Prime Minister and influential politician during that time. Clad in his distinguished top hat and exuding gentlemanly grace, he stands out amidst the crowd. Perhaps his inclusion serves as a reminder that even leaders need moments of respite and enjoyment. This photograph not only encapsulates an exciting amusement park attraction but also reflects societal dynamics and political alliances prevalent during that period. It reminds us that progress can be achieved when people come together despite their differences. Step back in time with this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's collection and let your imagination soar through history's twists and turns on "The Switchback.
