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 print showcases the monumental construction of the Panama Canal in the late 19th century. Taken from San Pablo, it offers a breathtaking view of this engineering marvel that forever changed transportation and trade routes. The image captures the bustling building site, with workers tirelessly toiling away to create what would become one of the world's most important waterways. The railway line running alongside the canal serves as a testament to the immense logistical challenges faced during its construction. The landscape is dominated by cranes, scaffolding, and other structures necessary for such an ambitious project. The engraving technique used enhances every intricate detail, allowing us to appreciate both the grand scale and meticulous craftsmanship involved in this feat of civil engineering. As we gaze upon this monochrome scene, we are transported back in time to witness history being made. Central America's lush surroundings provide a striking backdrop against which human ingenuity unfolds. This print not only commemorates an extraordinary achievement but also reminds us of how interconnected our world has become through advancements in transport and technology. It serves as a reminder that progress requires determination, vision, and collaboration on a global scale. Created by an unknown artist or photographer whose name has been lost over time, this print now resides within Heritage Images' collection - preserving moments like these for generations to come.
