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
In this striking photograph from 1917, a group of prominent American men, including railway executives and politicians, gather around the Safety First train of the Baltimore and Ohio Railway (B&O) in Redfield, West Virginia. Among them are Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels (to the left of Robert Lansing, wearing a pale suit), Secretary of State Robert Lansing, Daniel Willard, President of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, W.D. Wilson, and several other unidentified men. All the men are dressed in formal attire, with some wearing bowler hats and carrying canes. The Safety First train was a significant innovation in railway safety, featuring advanced safety features such as automatic air brakes and interlocking switches. The train's inspection by these high-ranking officials underscores the importance of safety in the railway industry during this era. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a prominent Washington, D.C. photography studio founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in 1902. The studio was known for its high-quality glass negatives and became a leading supplier of photographs to newspapers and magazines. This image is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. The photograph captures a moment in American history when the railway industry was at the forefront of technological innovation and political attention. The men in the photograph embody the power and influence of the railway industry and the government during this period. The image is a valuable historical record of this time and the people who shaped it.
