1889 Chaos Destruction Flood Johnstown Northeast Rubble Ruin
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
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 "JOHNSTOWN FLOOD, 1889" takes us back to a moment of immense chaos and destruction in American history. The photograph was taken immediately after the devastating flooding of Johnstown, Pennsylvania on May 31st, 1889. As we gaze at this haunting image, we are transported to the late 19th century where a once vibrant city now lies in ruins. The scene captures the aftermath of nature's fury as floodwaters have receded, leaving behind a landscape filled with rubble and debris. It is a stark reminder of the power that Mother Nature can unleash upon unsuspecting communities. The desolation portrayed in this photograph is palpable - streets are no longer recognizable amidst the wreckage and buildings stand dilapidated or completely destroyed. One cannot help but feel an overwhelming sense of loss for what was once a thriving city. In its simplicity, this print encapsulates not only the physical devastation caused by the flood but also serves as a testament to human resilience in times of adversity. It reminds us that even amidst such destruction, there is always hope for rebuilding and renewal. "JOHNSTOWN FLOOD, 1889" stands as both a historical document capturing an important event in American history and an artistic representation showcasing the raw emotions evoked by such catastrophic events.
