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 coloured lithograph depicts the Stockport Viaduct in the mid-19th century, circa 1850. The image was published by Bradshaw and Blacklock, two renowned publishers of their time, who were known for producing the original Bradshaw's railway guides. The intricately detailed print showcases the impressive engineering feat that was the Stockport Viaduct, which was a vital component of the growing railway network during the Industrial Revolution. The Stockport Viaduct, located in Stockport, Cheshire, England, was built between 1836 and 1840 under the direction of Thomas Bouch. This architectural masterpiece spans the River Mersey and the town of Stockport, measuring 2,127 feet in length and featuring 27 arches. The viaduct was a significant milestone in railway history, as it was the first major structure to be built entirely of wrought iron and the longest viaduct in the world at the time of its completion. The lithograph beautifully captures the essence of the era, with the vibrant colours and intricate details bringing the scene to life. The trains, carriages, and passengers can be seen making their way across the viaduct, while the bustling town of Stockport lies below. The print also highlights the picturesque landscape surrounding the viaduct, with the lush greenery and winding river adding to the overall charm of the image. This coloured lithograph is an invaluable historical record of the Stockport Viaduct during its early days, providing a fascinating glimpse into the past and the role it played in the development of the railway system in England.
