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.

Capturing the Untamed Beauty - John Wesley Powell's Historic Journey through the Grand Canyon
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to 1871, when American geologist John Wesley Powell embarked on a groundbreaking expedition down the majestic Grand Canyon. Armed with his camera and an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Powell ventured into uncharted territory, documenting the awe-inspiring landscapes that lay hidden within this natural wonder. As we gaze upon this image captured by E. O. Beaman, we are transported to a time when the vastness of America's Southwest was still largely unknown. Powell's United States Topographical and Geographical Survey of the Colorado and of the West sought to unravel its mysteries and shed light on its geological wonders. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness Powell's campsite amidst rugged terrain as he meticulously studies his surroundings. A true scientist at heart, he dedicated himself to understanding every facet of this untamed wilderness – from rock formations to river currents – leaving no stone unturned. Today, thanks in part to pioneers like John Wesley Powell, our appreciation for nature has deepened immensely. The Grand Canyon National Park stands as a testament not only to its sheer beauty but also as a reminder of those who dared venture into its depths for scientific exploration. Let this remarkable photograph serve as a tribute to both Powell's unwavering spirit of discovery and our collective fascination with Earth's most extraordinary landscapes.
