FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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.

California Gold Rush, 1850 - A Glimpse into the Dreams of New Yorkers
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this oil on canvas print by William Sidney Mount, we are transported back to the year 1850, amidst the frenzy of the California Gold Rush. The painting titled "California News, or News from the Gold Diggins" captures a group of New Yorkers eagerly gathered around a table in what appears to be a post office. Excitement and anticipation fill their faces as they read aloud from a newspaper that holds promises of unimaginable riches. The diverse group depicted includes men and women of different backgrounds, with an African American boy among them. Their attire reflects both middle-class fashion and ruggedness; some wear beaver hats while others sport moustaches and smoking pipes. A rifle leans against one man's chair, hinting at the dangers that lie ahead in pursuit of gold. Mount skillfully portrays not only their physical appearance but also their emotions - hopefulness mixed with trepidation as they contemplate leaving behind everything familiar for an uncertain future out west. The mountainous landscape visible through the window serves as a reminder of both opportunity and challenge awaiting those who dare to embark on this journey. This artwork offers us a glimpse into history - capturing not just an era but also human ambition and resilience during times of great change. It reminds us that dreams can drive people across vast distances in search of something better – even if it means leaving behind all they know for an uncertain adventure in California’s
