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 haunting sepia-toned photograph captures the aftermath of a tragic automobile accident that occurred in Washington State during the early 1920s. The scene is filled with sorrow and loss as three lifeless bodies lay motionless, victims of a drunk-driving collision. The image serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences that can arise from intoxicated driving, even in an era when awareness about its dangers was still developing. The driver's failure to exercise caution while under the influence led to this heartbreaking outcome. Located in the Pacific Northwest, Washington State witnessed numerous accidents during this time period due to its growing population and increasing reliance on automobiles for transportation. This particular incident stands out not only because it claimed multiple lives but also because it serves as a poignant example of how alcohol impairs judgment and endangers lives. Captured by Granger Art on Demand, this photograph freezes a moment forever etched in history—a somber reminder of the importance of responsible driving and the devastating impact that one person's actions can have on others. It serves as both a historical artifact documenting early transportation practices and a powerful symbol urging viewers to never underestimate the potential consequences of drunk driving.
