FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 wood engraving from 1875 captures the monumental feat of the Central Pacific Railroad in the Sierra Nevada mountains. The image depicts a train making its way through the rugged terrain, cheered on by a diverse group of railroad workers, including Chinese laborers who played a crucial role in building this historic railway.
The scene is alive with excitement and camaraderie as the workers celebrate their hard work and dedication to connecting America through this incredible engineering marvel. The snow-capped mountains loom in the background, serving as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by those who built this vital transportation artery.
The locomotive's headlight pierces through the darkness, illuminating the path ahead as it barrels towards its destination. The cowcatcher at the front symbolizes progress and determination, pushing aside any obstacles that stand in its way.
This wood engraving serves as a powerful reminder of not only the physical labor involved in constructing such an ambitious project but also of the unity and cooperation among people from different backgrounds coming together to achieve a common goal. It is a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance against all odds.
