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.

Revolutionizing North Merseyside's Transportation - The Long-Awaited M58 Extension
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from 1980, we witness a monumental moment in the history of North Merseyside's transportation system. The newly constructed 6.5-mile stretch of the M58 motorway, connecting Aintree to Skelmersdale, is finally open to the public after years of controversy and anticipation. This groundbreaking development not only provides a seamless link between these two key locations but also offers a vital connection to the M6, relieving congestion and transforming travel for countless commuters. The image captures the essence of progress as cars gracefully traverse beneath an impressive overhead gantry adorned with informative signage. These signs serve as beacons guiding motorists through their journey while symbolizing newfound connectivity within the region. Notably, this expansion project addresses one notorious bottleneck at Aintree called Switch Island, extending its capacity and alleviating long-standing traffic woes. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder that infrastructure advancements can shape communities and enhance lives. The significance of this milestone cannot be overstated; it represents an era when modernity met tradition on North Merseyside's roads.
