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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the picturesque town of Chaudfontaine in France, known for its natural beauty and historical significance. The town is often referred to as the Violet among watering resorts, a charming nickname that reflects its reputation as a popular destination for pilgrims seeking healing waters.
However, the tranquility of this idyllic scene is disrupted by the presence of a heavy goods train passing through on the railway tracks. The juxtaposition of old-world charm and modern industrialization creates an intriguing contrast in this circa 1860 landscape.
Despite being spoilt by the intrusion of technology, the beauty of Chaudfontaine's valley and town still shines through in this image. The rich history and architectural heritage of France are evident in every detail, from the quaint buildings to the lush greenery that surrounds them.
As viewers gaze upon this snapshot from another era, they are transported back in time to experience a moment frozen in history. It serves as a reminder of how progress can sometimes encroach upon even the most serene settings, yet cannot diminish their inherent allure.
This Rights Managed print from Mary Evans Prints Online offers a glimpse into a world where past meets present, inviting us to reflect on our own relationship with nature and technology.
