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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the High Pressure Steamboat Mayflower, a first-class packet boat that graced the mighty Mississippi River between St. Louis and New Orleans in the mid-19th century. The photograph, estimated to date back to around 1855, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and innovation of river transportation during this period. Captained by the esteemed Joseph Brown, the Mayflower was a marvel of engineering, harnessing the power of high-pressure steam to propel the vessel forward at impressive speeds. The Mayflower's advanced steam engine allowed it to outpace many of its contemporaries, making it a popular choice among travelers seeking a faster journey between the bustling cities of St. Louis and New Orleans. The photograph reveals the elegant design of the Mayflower, with its tall, ornate smokestacks and intricately carved wooden deck. Passengers could enjoy the scenic views of the Mississippi River from the spacious, well-appointed cabin, complete with comfortable seating and large windows. The image also reveals the boat's impressive size, dwarfing the smaller vessels and barges that populate the river. The High Pressure Steamboat Mayflower represented the pinnacle of river transportation during this era, offering a faster, more comfortable, and more luxurious travel experience. The photograph serves as a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the era, showcasing the transformative impact of steam power on transportation and travel in the United States.
