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 pencil drawing by Edwin Forbes, titled "Civil War: Pontoon Bridge" transports us back to a significant moment in American history. The scene depicts Union Army troops under the command of General John Charles Fremont as they cross the north fork of the Shenandoah River at Mount Jackson, Virginia. The meticulous sketch captures the essence of this pivotal event during the Civil War. The pontoon bridge stretches across the river, connecting both sides and serving as a lifeline for Union forces. Soldiers can be seen marching confidently over its sturdy planks while others stand guard along its edges. Forbes' attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pencil. He expertly portrays the natural beauty surrounding this military operation - lush greenery lines the riverbanks and majestic mountains loom in the distance. This juxtaposition between nature's tranquility and man's struggle for power adds depth to an already compelling composition. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by those who fought during one of America's darkest periods. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst turmoil, there is still beauty to be found – whether it be in art or in humanity's resilience. Granger Art on Demand has once again provided us with a glimpse into our past through their vast collection of historical prints.
