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 lithograph from 1877 offers a remarkable cutaway view of the mines at Virginia City, Nevada, known as the Comstock Lode. The Comstock Lode was an iconic mining district that operated between 1859 and 1879, yielding an astonishing amount of silver and gold ore valued at over 500 million dollars during its heyday. This print provides a unique glimpse into the intricate network of tunnels and shafts that lay beneath the surface, where miners toiled tirelessly to extract precious minerals. The bustling boomtown of Virginia City can be seen in the background, nestled amidst the majestic Sierra Nevada mountains. The lithograph showcases both mid- and late-19th century construction techniques employed in these underground workings. It highlights the immense scale of this mining operation while also emphasizing the dangerous conditions faced by workers who risked their lives daily for wealth buried deep within these rugged hills. Created by Bradley Smith as part of his Carousel Collection, this artwork captures not only a significant moment in American history but also pays tribute to those who played a vital role in shaping it – the brave miners who ventured into darkness seeking fortune. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded of their perseverance and determination that fueled one of America's most prosperous eras – the Gold Rush era – forever etched within our nation's story.
