Ironbridge Gorge 21131_07
Ironbridge Gorge and Buildwas Power Station, Shropshire. The cradle of the Industrial Revolution. Abraham Darby established his iron works at Coalbrookdale in 1708, and in 1778 the first cast-iron bridge in the world, almost an icon of the Industrial Revolution, was erected here (towards the centre of the photograph). This industrial area sits among the greenery of this largely rural county. Photographed in February 2001

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 awe-inspiring photograph captures the historic Ironbridge Gorge in Shropshire, a site that marked the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in 1708. Nestled among the lush greenery of this largely rural county, the industrial area is home to Coalbrookdale, where Abraham Darby established the first iron works. Towards the centre of the image, the iconic Iron Bridge stands proudly, the world's first cast-iron bridge, erected in 1778. The bridge, a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the time, is a symbol of the significant advancements in engineering and manufacturing that were to come. In the foreground, the Buildwas Power Station, a source of electricity, adds a modern touch to the scene. This photograph, taken in February 2001, offers a unique perspective of the historical site, highlighting the harmonious coexistence of the past and the present in this fascinating corner of England.
