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.

RAILROAD WORKERS, c1903 - A Glimpse into the Backbone of America's Industrial Revolution
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a pivotal moment in American history - the construction of a railroad track at a road crossing in Joliet, Illinois, circa 1903. The image showcases a group of hardworking men laboring tirelessly to elevate the track, their faces etched with determination and sweat glistening on their brows. Set against the backdrop of an early Midwest landscape, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into the turn-of-the-century world where transportation was being revolutionized. The towering locomotive stands as a symbol of progress and innovation while these dedicated workers embody the spirit of resilience that built our nation. The dirt road leading up to the crossing tells tales of countless journeys taken by horse-drawn carriages and wagons before trains became commonplace. It is here that we witness firsthand how railroads transformed not only transportation but also entire communities. As we admire this rare piece from Granger Art on Demand collection, let us reflect on these unsung heroes who laid down tracks connecting towns and cities across America. Their efforts paved the way for economic growth, trade expansion, and cultural exchange that shaped our great nation.
