Aveling Lowestoft Porter Roller Suffolk
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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.

1. Title: A Blast from the Past: The Aveling & Porter Steam Roller in Lowestoft, Suffolk, England (1920s) 2.. Step back in time with this image of a bygone era, featuring the impressive Aveling & Porter Steam Roller at work in Lowestoft, Suffolk, England during the 1920s. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the rich history of road construction and engineering innovation during this period. The Aveling & Porter Steam Roller, a symbol of progress and industry, is seen here in its full glory, emitting thick plumes of smoke as it rolls over freshly laid asphalt. The steam-powered machine, with its large, robust wheels and intricate ironwork, was a marvel of engineering at the time, capable of compacting and smoothing the road surface with remarkable efficiency. Lowestoft, a coastal town in Suffolk, was an ideal location for this steam roller, as the town's roads required frequent maintenance due to the harsh weather conditions and heavy traffic.

This image, taken in the 1920s, is a testament to the ingenuity and progress that characterized the early 20th century. The Aveling & Porter Steam Roller, with its distinctive design and powerful presence, serves as a reminder of the transformation that took place in the construction industry during this era.
