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 Glance into the Past: The Permanently Locked Swing Bridge over River Neath, Neath, Port Talbot, South Wales 2.. Step back in time with this evocative image of the Swing Bridge over the River Neath in Neath, Port Talbot, South Wales. Opened in 1892, this historical railway bridge carried the former Rhondda and Swansea Bay Railway near Skewen. With its elegant Victorian and Edwardian design, the Swing Bridge was a marvel of engineering innovation during the 1890s. The bridge, now permanently locked, once allowed the passage of trains and boats alike. The bridge's unique design enabled it to swing open to accommodate larger vessels passing through. This photograph, taken in 1909, captures the bridge in its prime, showcasing its intricate details and the bustling activity along the riverbank. The Swing Bridge at Neath is a testament to the rich industrial history of South Wales. It played a significant role in the transportation of coal and other resources from the Rhondda Valley to Swansea Bay and beyond. The bridge's permanent locking marks the end of an era, but its legacy continues to inspire awe and admiration for the ingenuity of the past. This image, taken from the extensive Mary Evans Prints Online collection, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to reflect on the remarkable engineering achievements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
