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 evocative print, titled 'Glasgow, General View of the City, 1817' by an unknown artist, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past of Scotland's largest city. The image captures the rugged beauty of Glasgow's streets, with a rough-surfaced road winding through the cityscape. A wagon, drawn by a determined donkey, makes its way towards the viewer, carrying goods from the nearby factories. The industrial revolution was in full swing in Glasgow during this period, and the print bears testament to the city's burgeoning industrial might. The factories, belching out thick plumes of smoke, dominate the skyline, casting an eerie pall over the city. The air is heavy with the acrid smell of industry, a stark reminder of the environmental cost of progress. The carrier, dressed in traditional Scottish attire, seems almost insignificant amidst the towering structures and bustling activity. Despite the industrial grit, there are signs of life and activity in the print. People can be seen milling about in the streets, while children play in the foreground. The River Clyde, a major source of Glasgow's industrial power, can be seen in the distance, reflecting the city's vibrant energy. This print, with its intricate details and atmospheric quality, offers a unique perspective on Glasgow's history. It serves as a reminder of the city's rich industrial heritage, as well as the challenges and opportunities that came with it. The print is a valuable historical document, providing insights into the daily life and economic conditions of Glasgow during the early 19th century.
