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 haunting print captures the tragic scene of the Montparnasse Accident that took place at the Mont Parnasse terminus of the Chemin de Fer de l'Ouest in 1895. The Granville train can be seen crashing through the buffers and into the street, resulting in the death of a poor woman who was selling newspapers nearby.
The sheer force and devastation depicted in this image serve as a stark reminder of the dangers associated with early rail transport. The chaotic aftermath of this accident is frozen in time, allowing viewers to witness a moment that forever changed the lives of those involved.
As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are transported back to a time when safety measures were not as advanced as they are today. The tragedy that unfolded on that fateful day serves as a somber reflection on how far we have come in terms of transportation safety.
Through this powerful image, we are reminded of the fragility of life and the importance of prioritizing safety in all forms of travel.
