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 historical print captures the view down the second tunnel beneath the Thames, a remarkable engineering feat that connected Tower Hill to Tooley Street near London Bridge Station. The tunnel, made from a circular iron tube 7 feet in diameter and laid deep in the clay of the river bed, is a testament to Isambard's innovative design and construction techniques.
Dating back to 1869, this image showcases an important piece of London's history and infrastructure. The Rotherhithe Tunnel was the first of its kind, paving the way for future underground passages throughout the city. The depth at which it was constructed highlights the challenges faced by engineers during this time period.
The intricate details captured in this photograph offer a glimpse into Victorian-era technology and architecture. From the circular shape of the tunnel to its impressive size, every aspect speaks to Isambard's ingenuity and vision for modern transportation systems.
As we reflect on this image from over 150 years ago, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of urban development and connectivity. This print serves as a reminder of London's rich history and ongoing commitment to innovation in infrastructure projects.
