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 transports us back to the late 1880s, capturing a pivotal moment in American history. The image showcases a stack of gleaming silver ingots at Leadville, Colorado - a booming mining town nestled amidst the majestic Rocky Mountains. The photograph, enhanced with oil painting techniques, beautifully captures the abundance and prosperity that characterized this era of westward expansion. A testament to the relentless pursuit of wealth and opportunity during the American boomtown period. In this scene, we see men donning their hats as they stand proudly beside the towering stack of silver ingots. These miners were integral to Leadville's success, tirelessly working underground in dangerous conditions to extract precious minerals from deep within the earth. The brick structure behind them hints at the industrial nature of silver smelting that took place in these mines. It serves as a reminder of both human ingenuity and perseverance in transforming raw materials into valuable commodities. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Granger Art on Demand, we are transported back to an era defined by ambition and exploration. It is a visual representation not only of Leadville's rich mining heritage but also symbolizes America's relentless pursuit for progress during its formative years.
