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
Crossing the Mississippi: A Pivotal Moment in the Great American Westward Expansion (circa 1850) This evocative image captures the spirit of adventure and determination that defined the westward emigration journey in America during the mid-19th century. The Mississippi River, once a formidable barrier, now serves as a gateway for intrepid settlers embarking on their long journey to the Golden West. In the foreground, a sturdy ferry, skillfully maneuvered by its crew, transports a line of covered wagons across the mighty river. The reflection of the sun-kissed landscape in the water adds a sense of tranquility to the scene, as the settlers, their belongings, and their hopes for a new life, are carried forward. The year is circa 1850, and the promise of fertile lands, abundant resources, and opportunities for personal growth drew countless individuals and families from the eastern United States to the frontier. The arduous journey, fraught with challenges and uncertainties, was a rite of passage for many, and this moment, as they cross the Mississippi, marks the beginning of their adventure. As the settlers continue their westward trek, they will face numerous hardships, including harsh weather, difficult terrain, and encounters with indigenous peoples. Yet, their unwavering resolve and the camaraderie forged during their journey will help them overcome these challenges and create new communities in the vast expanse of the American West.
