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 photograph captures the breathtaking sight of ice wrecks on the Mississippi River in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, during the early 1900s. The image, estimated to be from around 1905, showcases the natural phenomenon that occurs when the river freezes over. The powerful and unyielding forces of winter transform the mighty Mississippi into a frozen expanse, trapping various vessels in its icy grip. The Mississippi River, a vital waterway that has played a significant role in the history and development of the United States, is known for its unpredictable and ever-changing nature. However, few sights are as striking as the winter scene depicted in this photograph. The ice wrecks, scattered throughout the frozen river, serve as a reminder of the raw power and beauty of nature. The ice gorge, a term used to describe the buildup of ice in the river, is a common occurrence in the colder months. The phenomenon, while beautiful, can also be dangerous, as it can cause significant damage to ships and other vessels that are unable to navigate the frozen waters. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era when the natural world held a greater sway over human activities. It serves as a reminder of the importance of appreciating the beauty and power of nature, even in its most extreme forms. The ice wrecks on the Mississippi River in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, are a testament to the enduring allure of the natural world and the awe-inspiring sights it has to offer.
