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 print takes us back in time to the bustling city of New Orleans in 1903. The image captures a stunning aerial view of the Central Business District, showcasing the heart of commerce and industry during this era. From atop the Hennen Building, we are granted a unique perspective as our gaze follows the mighty Mississippi River flowing gracefully towards the horizon. The cityscape is dotted with towering buildings that proudly display their architectural grandeur, symbolizing progress and prosperity. However, amidst this urban landscape lies evidence of early industrialization. Smokestacks release billowing plumes of smoke into the sky, hinting at pollution caused by burgeoning industries. This juxtaposition between progress and its environmental consequences serves as a reminder that even then, societal advancements came at a cost. The photograph's monochromatic tones add depth to its historical significance while capturing every intricate detail from rooftop to riverside. It transports us back to an exciting time when New Orleans was rapidly evolving into a major economic hub in Southeast America. Preserved by The Granger Collection, this remarkable piece offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on how far we have come since those turn-of-the-century days while appreciating both the achievements and challenges faced by cities like New Orleans throughout history.
