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 captures the essence of a bygone era in Santa Clara, California. Taken by renowned American photographer Carleton Watkins in 1863, this print showcases the picturesque "Town on the Hill" in New Almaden. The image transports us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, as we gaze upon the quaint buildings nestled amidst rolling hills. The town exudes an air of tranquility, with its charming houses dotting the landscape and smoke gently rising from chimneys. Watkins' expert use of albumen silver print brings out intricate details, allowing us to appreciate every architectural nuance and texture. The play between light and shadow adds depth to the scene, enhancing our visual experience. As we explore this historical gem frozen in time, it becomes evident that New Almaden was not just any ordinary town; it held significance due to its association with mining activities during California's Gold Rush era. This photo serves as a testament to both Watkins' artistic prowess and his ability to capture moments that would otherwise be lost forever. Whether you are an avid history enthusiast or simply appreciate fine art photography, this stunning print is sure to transport you back in time and evoke feelings of nostalgia for simpler days gone by.
