Canal Canals Cold Frozen Narrow Northamptonshire Snap Wharf Ice Breaker
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 print captures a scene from the past, showcasing an icebreaker narrow boat making its way through the frozen Grand Union Canal near Buckby Wharf in Northamptonshire, England. The historical significance of this image is evident as we are transported back to the 1960s when canals were vital transport routes for goods and people.
The icy waters and snow-covered banks create a picturesque winter setting, highlighting the harsh conditions faced by those who navigated these waterways during colder months. The narrow boat itself stands out against the white backdrop, its sturdy frame cutting through the frozen surface with determination.
As we admire this snapshot of history, we are reminded of the importance of these canals in shaping Britain's industrial landscape. The Grand Union Canal played a crucial role in connecting cities and towns across England, facilitating trade and commerce in a time before modern transportation methods took over.
Mary Evans Picture Library has captured not just a moment in time but also a piece of British heritage that continues to fascinate us today. This print serves as a reminder of our rich history and the resilience of those who braved cold winters to keep our country moving forward.
