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
. Transportation has always been a gateway to new adventures, and this print from 1888 takes us back in time to an era when railroads were the epitome of modernity. In this illustration from an American magazine advertisement, we witness a conversation between two men that holds the promise of exciting journeys. Set against a late 19th-century backdrop, one man passionately recommends the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad to his companion who dreams of traveling to California. Their animated discussion unfolds on deck as they enjoy their pipes and cigarettes, surrounded by fellow passengers dressed in elegant attire. The attention to detail is remarkable – from the intricate rigging above them to the women seated nearby engrossed in reading material. The well-dressed gentlemen exude wealth and sophistication as they discuss their plans for venturing westward. A sense of anticipation fills the air as they envision traversing vast landscapes aboard this renowned railroad. This advertisement captures not only a moment frozen in time but also embodies aspirations for progress and exploration during America's Gilded Age. It serves as a reminder that transportation has always played a pivotal role in connecting people with new opportunities and experiences.
