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.

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 showcases a former locomotive at the historic Wieliczka Salt Mine, located on the outskirts of Krakow. Once a thriving industrial establishment, this mine was immensely profitable during its heyday when salt was as valuable as today's oil. With an impressive history spanning nine centuries, the mine boasts an extensive network of over 200 kilometers of passages and 2,040 caverns in various sizes. Recognizing its cultural significance, UNESCO designated Wieliczka Salt Mine as a World Heritage site in 1978. However, due to declining salt prices and flooding within the mine, commercial mining operations ceased only in 1996. Today, this remarkable site attracts more than one million visitors annually who come to explore its unique architecture and learn about its rich heritage. In this stunning photograph captured by Jason Wells (wellsie82), we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur of steam locomotion amidst the carved tunnels of Wieliczka Salt Mine. The vintage steam engine stands as a testament to both human ingenuity and industrial progress that once thrived within these underground chambers. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but marvel at the convergence of history and adventure that awaits those who embark on a journey through this extraordinary destination. Whether you're drawn by curiosity or seeking an unforgettable vacation experience, Wieliczka Salt Mine promises to leave an indelible mark on your travel memories.
