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.

1. Title: "A Bulllock Sleigh in Madeira, Portugal: A Traditional Mode of Transport in the 1890s" This lantern slide image transports us back in time to the beautiful island of Madeira, located in the Atlantic Ocean off the northwest coast of Africa and a Portuguese territory. The photograph, taken in the late 1890s, showcases a bulllock sleigh, a traditional means of transportation that was once common in Madeira's hilly terrain. The bulllock sleigh, pulled by two powerful and sturdy bullocks, is depicted here with its passengers seated comfortably on the wooden bench, wrapped in warm clothing to shield them from the chill of the island's climate. The lantern slide's muted colors and intricate details reveal the textures of the bullocks' coats, the rugged terrain, and the intricate design of the sleigh itself. Madeira, with its subtropical climate, lush greenery, and volcanic origins, has long been a popular destination for travelers seeking relaxation and adventure. The bulllock sleigh was an essential part of the island's transportation infrastructure, providing a unique and memorable experience for visitors. The bulllock sleigh was an integral part of Madeira's history and culture, reflecting the island's rich heritage and the ingenuity of its people. The use of bullocks for transportation dates back to the early days of Madeira's settlement, and the sleighs remained in use until the early 20th century when motorized vehicles became more common. This lantern slide image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history and traditions of Madeira and its people. It is a reminder of the island's unique character and the importance of preserving its cultural heritage for future generations.
