23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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.

This photograph, taken in 1878, depicts the James Watt Inn, a historic tavern located in the Scottish town of Greenock. Named after the renowned Scottish engineer James Watt, this tavern holds a significant place in the town's rich history. James Watt (1736-1819) is celebrated for his groundbreaking inventions in the field of engineering, most notably his improvements to the Newcomen atmospheric engine, which transformed the efficiency of steam engines and played a crucial role in the Industrial Revolution. Born in Greenock, Watt's connection to the town is deeply rooted, making the James Watt Inn a fitting tribute to his legacy. The photograph, captured over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the tavern's Victorian-era charm. The image showcases the inn's intricate architectural details, including its ornate facade and decorative windows. The bustling scene outside the tavern suggests a thriving community, with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians filling the streets. The James Watt Inn stands as a testament to Greenock's industrial past and its connection to one of Scotland's most influential figures. This photograph not only showcases the beauty and history of the tavern but also serves as a reminder of the town's proud heritage and its role in shaping the world through the innovations of James Watt.
