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 photograph captures the moment the USS Nevada (BB-36), an American battleship of the Colorado-class, gracefully passes through the Caillard Cut of the Panama Canal in the early 1920s. The USS Nevada, commissioned in 1914, was the third ship to bear the name of the Silver State. With a standard displacement of 27,500 long tons, the battleship was a formidable presence on the high seas. The Panama Canal, an engineering marvel of the 20th century, was completed in 1914, significantly reducing the time and distance for ships to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The Caillard Cut, a narrow section of the canal, required the assistance of tugboats to guide large vessels safely through its waters. In this image, the USS Nevada, proudly flying the American flag, is accompanied by a tugboat on each side, expertly navigating the waters of the Caillard Cut. The rocks and steep cliffs that line the canal's edges add a sense of scale and drama to the scene, emphasizing the impressive size and power of the battleship. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, was a period of economic prosperity and cultural growth in the United States. This photograph is a testament to the country's industrial might and its ability to navigate the global stage. The USS Nevada's passage through the Panama Canal symbolizes the United States' commitment to maintaining a strong naval presence and its role as a global power during this era. This photograph, with its rich history and captivating imagery, is an essential addition to any collection of maritime or American history.
