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.

Telegraph Corps - A Glimpse into the Resourcefulness of the American Civil War
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to April 1864, amidst the chaos of the American Civil War. In this scene captured by Timothy H. O'Sullivan, we witness a hastily constructed field telegraph station that showcases the remarkable ingenuity of soldiers during this tumultuous time. Men can be seen perched atop tree trunks, ingeniously repurposed as telegraph poles. Their determined expressions reflect their dedication to maintaining vital communication lines in an era where every second counted. The landscape is dotted with tents and horse-drawn carts, showcasing the bustling activity within this makeshift camp. The image offers a glimpse into how technology was adapted to suit wartime needs. It highlights not only the resourcefulness of these men but also their unwavering commitment to ensuring efficient communication across army divisions in North America. O'Sullivan's photograph transports us back in time, immersing us in an atmosphere charged with urgency and resilience. It serves as a poignant reminder of how even amidst conflict, human innovation prevails. As we admire this historical snapshot from "Gardner's Photographic Sketch Book of the Civil War" let us appreciate those who served on both sides during this defining chapter in American history – individuals whose determination shaped our nation's future for generations to come.
