31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 vintage photograph, hailing from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past of Scotland's engineering marvel, the Forth Bridge. The image, likely captured in the early 1900s, showcases a group of dedicated maintenance workers as they go about their daily tasks on the iconic structure. The Forth Bridge, an engineering masterpiece designed by Sir Benjamin Baker and John Fowler, was completed in 1890 and spans the Firth of Forth in Scotland. At the time, it was the longest steel bridge in the world, a title it held until the opening of the Jacques Cartier Bridge in Montreal in 1930. In this photograph, the workers are seen in their element, with their lanterns illuminating the dark, misty morning as they carry out essential repairs to the bridge's intricate ironwork. The railway, which runs along the bridge, is visible in the background, adding to the sense of industry and progress. The workers, dressed in heavy coats and hats, are a testament to the harsh conditions faced by those who maintained the bridge in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era, where the spirit of innovation and determination was at the forefront of progress. The Forth Bridge remains an enduring symbol of Scotland's rich engineering heritage, and this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the tireless efforts of the maintenance workers who kept it in top condition during its early years.
