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 titled "CALIFORNIA GOLD MINER, 1853" takes us back to the heart of the American Gold Rush era. The image showcases William D. Peck, a rugged and determined gold miner from Rough and Ready, California. Painted with exquisite detail by Henry Walton in 1853, this watercolor captures the essence of life during that time. Peck is depicted seated at his desk inside a humble cabin, which serves as both his home and workplace. Surrounding him are various tools of his trade - a pan for sifting through river sediment in search of precious gold flakes, a pot for cooking meals over an open fire, and a scale to measure the weight of his findings. These items tell stories of perseverance and determination in pursuit of wealth. The artist skillfully portrays Peck's weathered face and worn-out clothing, reflecting the hardships endured by those who ventured into the treacherous mines seeking fortune. This portrait offers us a glimpse into the lives led by these brave men who left their homes behind to chase dreams amidst uncertainty. Through this artwork, we are transported to an important chapter in American history when thousands flocked to California hoping to strike it rich. It serves as a reminder of our nation's pioneering spirit and resilience in times of adversity.
