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.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, 1857 - A Glimpse into Antebellum America
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph print takes us back to the bustling city of Richmond in 1857. From the vantage point of Gambles Hill, we are treated to a breathtaking birds-eye view of the James River and its surrounding industrial area. The Kanawha Canal gracefully winds its way through the landscape, serving as a vital transportation artery for commerce and trade. In this snapshot of history, our eyes are drawn to a prominent building on the extreme right – possibly the iconic Tredegar Iron Works. This structure stands tall as a testament to Richmond's thriving iron industry during this era. The scene is alive with activity; barges glide along the canal while trains traverse bridges connecting different parts of the city. The air is filled with anticipation and energy as workers go about their daily tasks in various buildings scattered across town. Richmond's strategic location in southeastern Virginia made it an important hub for both regional and national commerce. This lithograph captures not only its economic significance but also showcases its natural beauty with scenic views stretching towards middle America. As we gaze upon this historical gem from Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how Richmond played a crucial role in shaping America's industrial landscape during one of its most transformative periods - before commercial use dominated every corner of our cities.
