FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 print transports us back in time to the year 1715, offering a mesmerizing glimpse of Niagara Falls. Taken from a line engraving featured on Herman Molls Map of North America, this detail showcases the majestic beauty and power of one of nature's most awe-inspiring wonders. The scene captures the early colonial era, with its depiction of English construction efforts along the Niagara River. The image reveals a dam being constructed amidst the cascading waters, highlighting humanity's attempt to harness and control nature for their own purposes. Amidst this scene, we catch sight of beavers busily at work in their natural habitat. These industrious creatures symbolize both the abundance and potential exploitation that characterized this era in North American history. The intricate detail captured by Herman Moll allows us to appreciate not only the scenic view but also offers insight into how early explorers perceived and mapped out this vast continent. This particular engraving was created in London, England, adding an international perspective to our understanding of these iconic falls. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from The Granger Collection, we are reminded of the timeless allure that Niagara Falls holds for people across generations. It serves as a reminder that even as civilizations change and progress over time, there are certain natural wonders that continue to captivate our imagination and leave us humbled by their grandeur.
