31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 captures a piece of history on the island of Madeira in 1876 - a Bullock Car. The image showcases an ox-driven cart, known as a bullock car, which was once a common mode of transport on the picturesque island. The sturdy bull leads the way, pulling the car along rugged terrain and winding roads.
The scene depicted in this photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing how locals traveled and transported goods across Madeira's challenging landscape. It is fascinating to see how these animals were utilized for their strength and endurance to navigate through rough terrains.
The historical significance of this image is evident as it provides insight into the transportation methods used during that era. The bullock car served as an essential means of getting around the island before modern vehicles became prevalent.
Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully captured this moment in time with exquisite detail and clarity. This print serves as a reminder of Madeira's rich history and cultural heritage, highlighting the ingenuity and resourcefulness of its inhabitants.
Overall, this stunning image evokes nostalgia for simpler times when oxen played a crucial role in everyday life on Madeira Island. It is truly a testament to human innovation and adaptation to nature's challenges.
