FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to Belle Plain, Virginia, in 1864. The image showcases the serene beauty of Potomac River's Upper Wharf, frozen forever in an albumen silver print. Through the lens of James Gardner and Timothy H. O'Sullivan, we are transported to a moment where history meets art. The composition is exquisite; it captures the essence of this riverside town with remarkable detail and clarity. The glass negative used for this photograph adds a touch of nostalgia, reminding us of the delicate craftsmanship involved in capturing such moments during that era. Belle Plain itself appears tranquil yet bustling with activity at its upper wharf. One can almost hear the distant sounds of boats docking and people going about their daily routines along these historic docks. It serves as a testament to how vital river transportation was during those times. James Gardner's expertise as an American photographer shines through this piece, while Timothy H. O'Sullivan's Irish heritage brings a unique perspective to their collaboration. Together they have created an enduring visual masterpiece that allows us to glimpse into America's past. As we admire this artwork from the Liszt Collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its historical significance—a snapshot frozen in time that reminds us of our rich cultural heritage and invites contemplation on how far we have come since then.
