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 fascinating print captures a slice of history with the Thames Tunnel, an engineering marvel designed by Anon Col (possibly referring to Marc Isambard Brunel) in 1843. The cross-section view reveals the intricate details of the tunnel beneath the bustling River Thames above it. Ships can be seen gracefully sailing on the river, showcasing Britain's rich maritime heritage.
The image not only showcases the impressive architecture of the tunnel but also highlights how transportation has evolved over time. The historical significance of this structure is evident as it played a crucial role in connecting different parts of London and facilitating trade and travel.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, we are reminded of the ingenuity and craftsmanship that went into creating such monumental structures. It serves as a reminder of our collective progress and innovation throughout history.
Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully preserved this piece of British history through their prints, allowing us to appreciate and learn from our past. This print is not just a visual delight but also a valuable educational resource for those interested in exploring Britain's transport history and architectural achievements.
