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
Step back in time to the 19th century and immerse yourself in the world of French railway construction. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases the letter 'U' from the French Railway Alphabet. The letter 'U' stands for 'Usine,' which translates to 'workshop' in English. The image transports us to a bustling railway workshop, where the raw power and energy of industrialization are on full display. The scene is filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of metalwork and manual labor. Strong, determined men work in unison, their faces etched with focus and determination as they wield hammers and anvils, shaping metal rails that would soon become an integral part of France's expanding rail network. The fire from the forge casts an orange glow over the scene, illuminating the faces of the workers and the intricate details of the machinery. Smoke billows from the chimney, a testament to the intensity of the work being done. The rhythmic clanging of hammers against metal echoes through the workshop, creating a symphony of industry and progress. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the immense effort and dedication required to build and maintain the railway system that would revolutionize transportation in France and beyond. The French Railway Alphabet, with its 'U' for 'Usine,' serves as a reminder of the importance of hard work, innovation, and collaboration in shaping the world around us.
