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 hand-colored woodcut takes us back to the 1870s, capturing a moment in history when visitors arrived at the White House in grand carriages. The winter carriage traffic depicted here occurred during the final days of Ulysses S. Grant's administration in 1877. The scene showcases Pennsylvania Avenue, adorned with its vintage charm and rich American heritage. As we gaze upon this illustration, we are transported to a time when traditional horse-drawn carriages were the primary mode of transportation. The image exudes an air of elegance and nostalgia as these visitors make their way towards one of America's most iconic landmarks. It serves as a reminder that even over a century ago, Washington D. C. was already bustling with activity and attracting people from all walks of life. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into the vibrant history and travel patterns of North America during the late 19th century. The presence of President Grant adds an extra layer of significance to this snapshot from our past. As we admire this piece, it becomes apparent how art can serve as a powerful portal through which we can explore different eras and gain insight into our collective journey as a nation.
