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
Mining Extraordinary: Dredging the Land for Gold in the Sierra Nevada, California, 1911 This photograph showcases the world's largest purpose-built dredger in action, unearthing gold from the rugged terrain of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. The image, taken in 1911, offers a glimpse into the rich history of gold mining in the region. The colossal dredger, with its impressive dimensions, was a testament to the ingenuity and determination of miners during the gold rush era. The machine, which is estimated to be over 21 meters long and 5 meters wide, was designed specifically for the arduous task of extracting gold from the land. The dredger's massive suction pump drew water from the riverbed, and as it was pulled along the river, the pump sucked up sediment, which was then passed through a series of screens to separate the gold from the mud and debris. The gold was collected in containers, while the waste material was returned to the river. The Sierra Nevada Mountains have a long and storied history of gold mining, dating back to the 1850s. The discovery of gold in California sparked a rush of prospectors to the region, leading to the development of sophisticated mining technologies like the dredger. This photograph is a reminder of the extraordinary efforts and innovations that went into mining for gold in California's Sierra Nevada Mountains. It is a testament to the perseverance and ingenuity of those who sought their fortune in the gold fields, and a fascinating glimpse into the history of mining in America.
