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.

Sail and Steam - A Glimpse into Maritime History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to September 1859, capturing a momentous event in the world of transportation. Designed by the brilliant engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, we witness the majestic Great Eastern rounding the point opposite Blackwall on the Thames. This iconic vessel played a pivotal role in history as it laid down the first successful Atlantic cable, forever connecting continents. The image exudes an air of nostalgia as we admire this grand ship that once dominated European waters. Its imposing presence against the backdrop of calm waters evokes a sense of awe and admiration for its engineering marvels. The fusion of sail and steam power represented a significant leap forward in maritime technology during that era. Sadly, despite its groundbreaking achievements, financial challenges led to its scrapping in 1889. Nevertheless, this photograph immortalizes The Great Eastern's legacy and reminds us of its pioneering spirit. Displayed in landscape format with meticulous attention to detail, this print captures every line and curve of this historic vessel. It serves as a reminder not only of technological progress but also highlights our enduring fascination with exploration and connectivity across oceans. As part of Fine Art Storehouse's collection from Hulton Archive, this remarkable piece transports us back to an era when ships like The Great Eastern symbolized human ingenuity pushing boundaries on both land and sea.
