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.

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.

TWAIN: MISSISSIPPI, 1883. A captivating glimpse into the life of a Mississippi River steamboat captain during the late 19th century. This remarkable illustration, taken from the first edition of Mark Twain's iconic novel 'Life on the Mississippi' in 1883, transports us back to an era defined by adventure and exploration. In this portrait, we see a distinguished man standing tall with confidence and authority. His weathered face adorned with a well-groomed beard and mustache reflects his years of experience navigating the mighty river. The captain's attire, consisting of a classic uniform complete with an overcoat and hat, exemplifies his dedication to professionalism in his maritime career. The interior setting hints at both elegance and functionality that were characteristic of steamboats during this time period. From intricately designed furnishings to nautical instruments scattered around him, every detail speaks volumes about the captain's intimate connection to his vessel. This print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also embodies Mark Twain's ability to bring characters like this riverboat captain to life through vivid storytelling. It serves as a visual testament to America's rich history and its reliance on transportation along the majestic Mississippi River. As part of The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, this artwork offers viewers an opportunity to delve into America's past while celebrating one of its most beloved literary figures - Samuel Clemens or better known by his pen name Mark Twain.
