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.

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 photograph, taken in 1902, showcases the impressive Great Crane at Woolwich Arsenal in south east London. The Arsenal was a significant center for the production and maintenance of large guns for the British military during the Edwardian era. The Great Crane was a vital piece of machinery used to lift and transport the heavy sections of these guns, enabling the efficient and precise assembly of the artillery pieces. The crane's intricate design is evident in this image, with its massive metal frame, cogs, and wheels, all working in harmony to lift the heavy loads. The large chain and wheel system, operated manually by the workers, is a testament to the industrial might of the time. The men in the photograph, dressed in work clothes, are intently focused on their tasks, their faces etched with determination and concentration. The Great Crane at Woolwich Arsenal represents the historical significance of the area's industrial past, with its contributions to the country's military strength. The image also highlights the importance of manual labor and the intricate machinery that powered the industrial revolution. The cogs and cogwheels, a common theme in the photograph, symbolize the interconnectedness of the various components of the machinery and the larger system of production. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the sound of hammering and the sight of heavy machinery were a common part of daily life in Woolwich. The Great Crane at Woolwich Arsenal stands as a reminder of the area's rich history and the critical role it played in shaping the industrial landscape of south east London.
