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
1 August 1831: The Grand Opening of the New London Bridge by King William IV and Queen Adelaide This historic photograph captures the momentous occasion of the opening of the New London Bridge on 1 August 1831. The bridge, a marvel of engineering and transportation, was graced by the presence of King William IV and Queen Adelaide as they led a grand procession of royal barges down the River Thames. The scene is set against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, with the sun casting a warm glow over the water. The bridge, adorned with decorative lights, spans the Thames, connecting the north and south banks of the city. The crowds that gathered to witness the event are visible in the foreground, their excitement palpable as they cheer and wave. A balloon, a symbol of the burgeoning field of aviation, can be seen in the top right corner of the photograph, adding an element of flight and innovation to the scene. The New London Bridge marked a significant improvement in transportation infrastructure, reducing travel time between the north and south of the city and paving the way for further advancements in transportation and engineering. This photograph, taken by The Royal Aeronautical Society (National Aerospace Library), is a testament to the grandeur and excitement of the early 19th century. The image captures the spirit of innovation, progress, and royalty that defined the era, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs.
