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 photograph, taken by Alfred Palmer in 1941, transports us back to the heart of American industry during the mid-20th century. The image showcases a blast furnace and iron ore at the Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corporation mill in Etna, Pennsylvania. The sheer magnitude of this steelworks facility is awe-inspiring. The blast furnace stands tall against the backdrop of an industrial landscape, exuding power and strength. Its fiery glow illuminates the surrounding area, casting an eerie yet mesmerizing light on the iron ore waiting to be transformed into steel. Palmer's composition captures both the grandeur and grittiness of this manufacturing process. The billowing smoke from the furnace hints at pollution concerns that plagued many industrial areas during this era. However, it also symbolizes progress and economic growth as America emerged from the depths of the Great Depression. This photograph serves as a testament to not only Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corporation's role in shaping America's infrastructure but also to Palmer's ability to encapsulate significant moments in history through his lens. It reminds us of a time when factories like these were bustling with activity, fueling America's rise as an industrial powerhouse. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of our nation's rich heritage built on hard work and innovation – a reminder that echoes through time and continues to inspire generations striving for progress.
