17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
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
This striking print captures the chaotic aftermath of the Financial Panic of 1866, a pivotal moment in American history when the murky machinations of financiers Jay Gould and James Fisk led to a devastating financial crisis. In this scene, their New York offices are besieged by angry citizens who have been left destitute by their reckless actions in the gold market.
The expressions on the faces of these furious individuals tell a story of betrayal and desperation as they demand answers for their ruined livelihoods. The events depicted here serve as a stark reminder of the power that unscrupulous individuals can wield over an entire economy, causing widespread panic and suffering in their wake.
As we gaze upon this historical image, we are transported back to a time when greed and deceit ran rampant in the financial world, leaving ordinary people to bear the brunt of its consequences. It is a sobering reminder that even in times of prosperity, vigilance must be maintained to prevent such crises from occurring again.
Through this powerful photograph, we are given a glimpse into a dark chapter of American history that serves as a cautionary tale for future generations. May we never forget the lessons learned from this tumultuous period and strive to create a more just and equitable society for all.
