Clock Clocktower Corp Corporation Equitable Frame Insurance Office Pair Skyscraper Tall
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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 striking photograph captures the majestic Equitable Office Building in New York City, New York, USA, during the Roaring Twenties, circa 1920. The 38-story skyscraper, a marvel of architectural innovation and engineering prowess, stands tall against the backdrop of the bustling metropolis. Designed by the esteemed architectural firm of Corbett, Harrison & MacMurray, the Equitable Office Building was a symbol of progress and prosperity in the 1920s. The Equitable Office Building, with its distinctive clock tower, was the second-tallest building in New York City at the time of its completion. Its steel frame structure and innovative use of reinforced concrete made it a pioneering structure in the era of skyscraper construction. The building's pair of clocks, located at the base of the clock tower, were a nod to the company's origins as an insurance corporation, symbolizing the importance of time and precision. The Equitable Office Building was not just an architectural marvel, but also a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the era. The photograph captures the building in its prime, with the intricate details of its facade and the clock tower's gilded clock faces gleaming in the sunlight. The image transports us back to a time of optimism and progress, when the possibilities seemed endless and the future was bright.
