17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 momentous occasion in history - the opening of the Royal Albert Bridge over the River Tamar in Saltash, Cornwall. Designed by the brilliant British engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel in 1859, this magnificent structure stands as a testament to his ingenuity and vision. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see crowds gathering on the banks of the river, eagerly celebrating this remarkable feat of engineering. The sepia tones lend an air of nostalgia to the scene, transporting us back to a time when rail transport was still relatively new and exciting. The composition beautifully showcases both land and water elements. A sailing ship gracefully glides through the river while rowboats dot its surface. The landscape format allows us to appreciate not only the bridge itself but also its surroundings, with lush greenery framing this architectural marvel. Amidst all these elements, it is impossible not to notice the diverse crowd that has gathered for this historic event. Men and women alike stand side by side, united in their awe and admiration for Brunel's creation. Otto Herschan skillfully captured this significant moment with his albumen box camera, preserving it for generations to come. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are reminded of how infrastructure can shape our world and bring communities together.
