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.

Bonanza, Saguache County, Colorado: From Tentative Beginnings to Thriving Settlement (1880-1881) This engraving, created in 1882, captures the transformation of Bonanza, Colorado, from a tentative collection of tents in 1880 to a thriving settlement by 1881. Situated in the rugged terrain of Saguache County, Bonanza was one of the earliest mining towns in Colorado's San Luis Valley. In 1880, the town was still in its infancy, with only a few tents dotting the landscape. However, the discovery of rich silver and gold deposits in the nearby mountains quickly attracted miners and settlers. By the following year, Bonanza had grown into a bustling community, as evidenced by this detailed engraving. The image shows the town's main street, lined with wooden buildings, including a school, a church, and various stores. The town's name, Bonanza, was derived from the Spanish word for "goods," reflecting the hope and optimism of the early settlers. Despite the harsh conditions, the residents of Bonanza persevered, building a community that would become an important part of Colorado's history. This engraving offers a glimpse into the past, providing a historical record of the early days of this once-tentative settlement.
