31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
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.

Bridge Builders - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to 1859, capturing a pivotal moment in Canadian history. The image showcases the construction of the magnificent Victoria Railway Bridge across the St Lawrence River in Montreal, Canada. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era when rail transport was revolutionizing connectivity between the east and west shores. The photo's composition draws our attention to a group of square-jawed male workers diligently engaged in their laborious task. With ladders propped against towering steel beams, they embody determination and resilience as they construct this remarkable man-made structure that would forever change transportation infrastructure. The bridge itself stands as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess. Its grandeur stretches across the river, connecting communities and facilitating trade throughout North America. This railway bridge not only symbolizes progress but also represents a significant milestone for both Canada's industrial expansion and its growing economy. William England's masterful photography captures every detail with precision, highlighting the intricate network of railroad tracks that will soon carry trains filled with passengers and goods from coast to coast. As we admire this archival treasure from over 160 years ago, let us appreciate those who dedicated their skills and sweat to build such monumental structures that continue shaping our world today.
