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
LONDON: TEA SHIP, 1877. Breaking bulk onboard a tea ship in the London docks. Wood engraving, English, 1877 captures the bustling scene of workers unloading crates of tea from a ship docked in London. The intricate details of this wood engraving bring to life the vibrant atmosphere and importance of the tea trade during this era. In the foreground, we see Chinese workers wearing traditional attire and pig tails as they diligently unload crates from the ship's deck. Their presence highlights the global nature of this operation and emphasizes London's role as a hub for international commerce. The image also showcases various elements that were integral to this process - from top-hatted Englishmen overseeing operations on board to warehouses in the background where these precious cargo would be stored before distribution. The hoist system used to lift heavy crates further demonstrates the scale and complexity involved in handling such valuable goods. This print serves as a fascinating glimpse into history, offering insight into both cultural exchange and economic activities that shaped London's identity as a major trading center during this period. It is an invaluable piece that not only celebrates human labor but also represents an important chapter in our shared heritage.
