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.

COLORADO RIVER. Noon Day Rest in Marble Canyon
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating wood engraving from 1870 that captures the essence of an American expedition through the breathtaking landscapes of the Colorado River. The image showcases a moment of respite during John Wesley Powell's historic journey, as his crew takes a break amidst the rugged beauty of Marble Canyon. The scene depicts an exterior view of Marble Canyon within what would later become known as Grand Canyon National Park. The 19th-century maritime engraving skillfully portrays the geology and grandeur of this Southwestern wonder, showcasing towering cliffs and deep canyons carved by the mighty Colorado River. In this snapshot, Powell's canoe and dinghy are anchored on the tranquil waters, providing a stark contrast to the imposing surroundings. As noon approaches, members of his expedition find solace in nature's embrace – perhaps discussing their discoveries or simply taking in the awe-inspiring scenery. This Granger Collection print transports viewers back in time to witness one small moment within Powell's daring exploration. It serves as a reminder not only of our nation's rich history but also highlights humanity's enduring fascination with untamed wilderness. Whether you are drawn to its historical significance or captivated by its artistic mastery, this wood engraving offers an immersive glimpse into America's past and invites contemplation about our relationship with nature.
