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.

Gold Prospectors, c1876 - Embarking on a Treacherous Journey to the Black Hills
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this color engraving from 1876, we witness a pivotal moment in American history as gold prospectors depart Denver, Colorado, for the treacherous terrain of the Black Hills in South Dakota. The image captures the essence of determination and adventure that characterized the late 19th-century Gold Rush era. Amidst bustling streets lined with wooden buildings and horse-drawn carriages, a group of rugged men astride their trusty steeds prepares to venture into uncharted territories. Clad in weathered clothing and armed with tools necessary for mining gold, these brave souls embody the spirit of risk-taking pioneers seeking fortune amidst harsh conditions. The backdrop showcases the majestic Rocky Mountains looming large behind them – an awe-inspiring reminder of both nature's beauty and its formidable challenges. As they set off towards their destination through vast stretches of untamed wilderness, one can almost feel their anticipation mixed with apprehension. This engraving serves as a testament to human resilience and ambition during an era defined by dreams of striking it rich. It immortalizes those who dared to leave behind comfort and familiarity for a chance at uncovering precious golden treasures hidden within South Dakota's Black Hills. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from The Granger Collection, let us remember these intrepid individuals who shaped our nation's narrative through their pursuit of wealth and adventure – forever etching themselves into America's vibrant tape
