23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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.

This print showcases the impressive "MAMMOTH PLOUGH, 1879". Manufactured by Deere & Co. in Illinois, this large plough was specifically designed for the St. Louis Iron Mountain and Southern Railroad to be used alongside a construction train. The wood engraving, created in America during 1879, beautifully captures the essence of this technological marvel. Intriguingly detailed, the image transports us back to an era when railroads were at the forefront of American progress. The mammoth size of this plough is awe-inspiring; it stands as a testament to human ingenuity and determination in conquering vast terrains for railway expansion. The men depicted in the engraving add a sense of scale and emphasize just how immense this piece of machinery truly is. Their presence also highlights the collaborative effort required for such ambitious projects. As we gaze upon this historical artifact frozen in time, we are reminded of America's relentless pursuit of innovation during that period – from steel production advancements to cutting-edge technology utilized within railroad construction. This Granger Collection artwork encapsulates both the grandeur and grittiness associated with America's industrial revolution.
