23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame

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 lithograph from 1811, titled "FIRST BANK OF U. S. 1811" offers a glimpse into the political and economic climate of early America. The artwork, part of the Carousel Collection by The Granger Collection, vividly depicts the anticipated consequences following Congress's decision not to renew the charter of the First Bank of the United States. In this scene, we witness a bustling urban setting with people going about their daily lives near the bank building. However, looming over them is an enormous ram symbolizing destruction and chaos that will ensue due to this significant financial blow. The artist skillfully captures both grief-stricken faces and a sense of urgency among individuals who rely on commerce and trade for their livelihoods. The lithograph serves as a poignant reminder of how closely intertwined finance and politics were in shaping early American society. It highlights not only the immediate impact on those directly affected but also raises questions about long-term consequences for national stability. As we gaze upon this historical print, it becomes evident that it holds immense value beyond its artistic merit alone. It provides us with valuable insights into our nation's past struggles with economic policy decisions while reminding us that even seemingly mundane choices can have far-reaching effects on society at large.
