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 photograph, taken in 1906, showcases the grandeur of the Newport Transporter Bridge in Monmouthshire, Wales, as it gracefully spans the Usk River. Completed that year, this engineering marvel was the brainchild of the renowned French engineer, Ferdinand Arnodin. As one of the few surviving aerial ferries in the world, the Newport Transporter Bridge stands as a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the past. The bridge, which transports vehicles and pedestrians across the river, is a unique blend of elegance and functionality. Its distinctive design, featuring two towers and a movable span, allowed for the passage of larger vessels beneath it. The bridge's construction marked a significant milestone in transportation history, as it was the first bridge of its kind to be built in the UK. The intricate details of the bridge's structure are evident in this photograph, with the ornate ironwork and the intricately designed viaducts leading up to the towers. The bridge's aerial view also provides a stunning perspective of the surrounding landscape, with the lush greenery and the winding river creating a serene and picturesque scene. Ferdinand Arnodin's masterpiece continues to captivate visitors and engineers alike, serving as a reminder of the incredible engineering achievements of the past. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Newport Transporter Bridge and the important role it played in the transportation landscape of Monmouthshire, Wales.
