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 transports us back to the late 19th century, capturing the beauty of Goschenen, Switzerland. The image showcases the magnificent Gotthard railway as it winds its way through this picturesque Swiss town. Taken by renowned photographer Giorgio Sommer in approximately 1880, this sepia-toned print exudes a sense of nostalgia and charm. The rugged alpine landscape serves as a breathtaking backdrop for the imposing bridge that spans across a deep gorge. The sheer magnitude of the mountains surrounding Goschenen is awe-inspiring, emphasizing both the grandeur of nature and human engineering. Sommer's composition skillfully captures every detail: from the rushing river below to the quaint houses nestled against the mountainside. This photograph not only documents an important moment in history but also invites viewers to immerse themselves in a bygone era. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we can't help but imagine what life was like during those times - when steam locomotives chugged along these tracks and travelers marveled at Switzerland's natural wonders. It serves as a reminder of our connection to both past and present; how landscapes change over time while still retaining their timeless allure.
