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 engraving from 1882 showcases the monumental task of transporting a Great Bell, weighing an impressive 62 hundredweight, from Loughborough to St. Paul's Cathedral in London. The sheer size and weight of this tenor bell required the use of a large traction engine for its journey, highlighting the incredible engineering feats of the time.
The image captures a moment in history where technology and tradition intersected as this important bell made its way to its new home at one of London's most iconic landmarks. The intricate details in the engraving bring to life the challenges faced by those involved in moving such a massive object across great distances.
As we gaze upon this historical scene, we are reminded of the significance that bells hold within our cultural heritage. They have long been used to mark important events, call people to worship, and provide a sense of community connection through their resonant tones.
This print serves as a visual reminder of the dedication and ingenuity required to transport objects of great importance in days gone by. It is a testament to human perseverance and craftsmanship that continues to inspire us today.
