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
1. Title: A Bygone Era of Transportation: The International Truck Being Loaded at the Quayside (1938) This evocative black and white illustration transports us back to the year 1938, capturing a moment in time when the world was on the brink of significant change. The image showcases an International Truck being skillfully loaded at a bustling quayside, a scene that was once a common sight in the maritime world. The International Truck, with its robust design and distinctive grille, stands proudly at the edge of the dock. Its powerful engine and sturdy frame were well-suited for the demands of long-distance transportation, making it a popular choice for companies engaged in the movement of goods. The quayside, teeming with activity, is a hive of industriousness. Sailors, dockworkers, and teamsters work in harmony to ensure the smooth transfer of cargo from ship to truck. Crates and barrels are carefully maneuvered, ropes are secured, and the International Truck is expertly positioned for loading. The atmosphere is one of determination and resilience, as the team works against the clock to complete the task efficiently. The sun casts long shadows on the dock, adding depth and texture to the scene. The illustration masterfully captures the essence of the era, providing a glimpse into the past when transportation was a labor-intensive, yet essential, part of everyday life. This illustration serves as a reminder of the rich history of transportation and the role that trucks, such as the International, played in shaping the world we live in today. It is a testament to the ingenuity and hard work of those who came before us, and a reminder of the importance of perseverance and adaptability in the face of change.
