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
This evocative photograph captures the majestic Taffs Well Viaduct, also known as Walnut Tree Viaduct, nestled in the picturesque landscape of Glamorgan, South Wales. Built in 1901, this Victorian engineering marvel spanned an impressive 1,100 feet and stood 100 feet high, crossing both the Taff River and the Cardiff Canal. The viaduct was a vital part of the Great Western Railway (GWR) network, connecting Cardiff and the surrounding areas with the rest of the country. The intricate ironwork of the viaduct's piers and arches is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the 1890s. The image showcases the harmonious coexistence of the railway and waterways, with a boat gently navigating the canal beneath the viaduct, while a train makes its way across the top. Unfortunately, the progress of time took its toll on this historical landmark. By 1969, the viaduct was no longer in use and was demolished to make way for a trunk road. Today, only memories and the occasional photograph remain as a reminder of the grandeur and significance of this once-mighty structure. The Taffs Well Viaduct, with its rich history and impressive scale, is a poignant symbol of the role that railways played in the development of South Wales and the United Kingdom as a whole. This photograph invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the engineering marvels that shaped our world.
