1917 Industry Kansas Storage Tank
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 photograph takes us back to the early days of America's oil industry, specifically in El Dorado, Kansas circa 1917. The image showcases an impressive oil well accompanied by a massive storage tank that looms over the surrounding landscape. It serves as a testament to the rapid growth and importance of this booming industry during that time. The composition is striking, with the towering storage tank dominating the frame against a backdrop of vast open plains. The photographer skillfully captures both the grandeur and industrial nature of this scene. One can almost feel the pioneering spirit and ambition that fueled these early American endeavors. The significance of this image lies not only in its historical context but also in its representation of progress and innovation. This oil well symbolizes an era when America was on the cusp of becoming one of the world's leading producers in petroleum. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Granger Art on Demand, we are transported to a different time - a time when Kansas played a pivotal role in shaping America's energy landscape. It reminds us how far we have come since then while honoring those who laid down foundations for our modern-day industries.
