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 evocative engraving, titled 'Passengers on the Gangway, Liverpool, 1870,' captures a poignant moment in the history of transatlantic emigration. The image shows two determined figures, a mother and her young child, making their way onto a departing ship at the bustling port of Liverpool. The mother clutches her child tightly, her expression a mixture of anxiety and relief, as a uniformed member of the ship's crew extends a helping hand to guide them aboard. The boarding process was a crucial and often chaotic part of the emigration journey. Thousands of hopeful immigrants, many of them penniless and weary from their long voyage from Europe, would gather at the docks, eager to begin a new life in the New World. The crew members, dressed in their smart uniforms, would work tirelessly to ensure the safe and efficient loading of passengers and cargo. This engraving, produced in 1870, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a visual record of the mass migration that shaped the history of both Europe and the Americas. The image is a poignant reminder of the courage and determination of those who left their homelands in search of a better future, and the crucial role that ports like Liverpool played in the global movement of people and ideas. The intricate details of the engraving, from the folds of the passengers' clothing to the ropes and rigging of the ship, transport us back in time, allowing us to experience a moment in history that continues to resonate with us today.
