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, titled "Potomac River, c1898" by Frances Benjamin Johnston, transports us back to the late 19th century in America. The monochrome image, a beautiful cyanotype, showcases the serene and untouched beauty of the Potomac River. The river's tranquil waters reflect the clear blue sky above, while reeds line the riverbank, adding a textured contrast to the otherwise still scene. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a renowned American photographer, captured this image during the 1890s. Her expertise in the cyanotype process, a photographic printing technique that produces a cyan-blue image, is evident in the vibrant and detailed representation of the Potomac River. The Potomac River, a significant geographical feature in the United States, stretches over 400 miles from its headwaters in West Virginia to its mouth at the Chesapeake Bay. This image, now housed in the Library of Congress, provides a glimpse into the heritage and history of the Potomac River during a time when the natural world was still largely unaltered by industrialization. The image's composition, with the reeds leading the eye to the horizon, emphasizes the vastness of the river and the endless expanse of the sky. This photograph is not only a stunning work of art but also a valuable historical record of the Potomac River during the 19th century.
