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 from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to 1859, capturing a significant moment in history. The image showcases Pius IX's Railroad Car, an exquisite piece of engineering marvel that symbolizes the progress and modernization of Rome, Lazio, Italy during this era. Renowned French photographer Gustave Le Gray skillfully captures the intricate details and grandeur of this remarkable locomotive. The albumen silver print technique used by Le Gray adds a touch of elegance to the photograph, enhancing its timeless appeal. As we gaze at this image, we can almost imagine ourselves standing on the platform witnessing Pius IX boarding his luxurious railroad car for one of his many journeys across Italy. Pius IX was known for his progressive mindset and desire to connect different regions through improved transportation systems. This photograph serves as a testament to his vision and determination to bring about change in Italy's infrastructure. Le Gray's mastery is evident in every aspect of this composition - from the impeccable framing to the subtle play of light and shadow that accentuates each detail. Through this photograph, he not only documents a historical moment but also immortalizes it with artistic finesse. As we admire this extraordinary print from the Liszt Collection, let us appreciate both Pius IX's ambition for progress and Gustave Le Gray's talent for capturing moments that transcend time itself.
