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
Step back in time with this image of a Penny Farthing cyclist, a symbol of transportation innovation during the late 19th century. The Penny Farthing, also known as the High Wheel Bicycle, was a popular mode of transportation between 1873 and 1885, preceding the introduction of the first safety bicycles. The rider, dressed in the fashionable attire of the era, confidently navigates the cobblestone streets on this extraordinary machine. The Penny Farthing's unique design, featuring a large front wheel and a smaller rear wheel, challenged the conventional norms of mobility. Riders sat high above the ground, giving them an elevated view of their surroundings, making it an attractive option for the adventurous and the thrill-seeking. The large front wheel provided greater momentum and speed, while the smaller rear wheel allowed for easier maneuverability. This photograph is a testament to the Penny Farthing's popularity during its time. The bicycle represented a significant leap forward in personal transportation, offering a sense of freedom and independence that was previously unattainable. The Penny Farthing's influence extended beyond just transportation, as it also symbolized the spirit of progress and innovation during the Victorian era. As we admire this historical image, we are reminded of the Penny Farthing's enduring legacy in the annals of cycling history. Its impact on the world of transportation paved the way for the development of more advanced bicycles and ultimately, the automobiles that would dominate the 20th century. This photograph is not only a visual delight but also a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the Penny Farthing's unique charm and the spirit of adventure that defined the era.
