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. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 vibrant and captivating print titled "GOLD RUSH CARTOON, 1849. The Way They Come From California" takes us back to the exhilarating era of the Gold Rush in America. Created by Nathaniel Currier, a renowned lithographer in 1849, this hand-colored lithograph beautifully captures the essence of that time. The image depicts a bustling scene with men from all walks of life eagerly returning home after their quest for gold in California. With its clever satire, the cartoon highlights the haste and frenzy surrounding these prospectors as they make their way back to their loved ones. Intriguing details fill every corner of this artwork - from a sailing ship symbolizing transportation to a mine representing wealth and opportunity. The middle-aged men carrying bags filled with gold are juxtaposed against an exterior background showcasing the vast landscapes of California during that period. Currier's artistic prowess shines through his meticulous attention to detail and masterful use of colors. This piece not only serves as a historical document but also reflects on themes such as Manifest Destiny and political commentary prevalent at that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable lithograph, we are transported back to an era where dreams were chased, fortunes were made or lost, and America was forever changed by one of its most significant events – the Gold Rush.
