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 print captures the Three Mile Island nuclear power station in all its illuminated glory, as seen from across the majestic Susquehanna River at night. A significant landmark in American history, this power station became infamous for a nuclear accident that occurred on March 28th, 1979. The incident took place within the Unit 2 reactor, resulting in a partial meltdown. Despite the severity of the situation, no deaths or injuries were caused by this unfortunate event. In this image, we witness the resilience and continued operation of Unit 1 reactor's cooling towers standing tall in the background. These structures serve as a reminder of Pennsylvania's ongoing commitment to electricity generation and energy production through nuclear means. Located near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA, this dark yet awe-inspiring photograph showcases not only an important piece of industrial architecture but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and progress. As we gaze upon this historical site bathed in darkness yet brilliantly illuminated by its own power source, we are reminded of both the risks associated with such endeavors and our unwavering pursuit of technological advancements. The Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this momentous scene without mentioning any commercial use intentions or affiliations with specific companies. It stands as an evocative representation of North America's United States' nuclear power industry and its impact on society while highlighting one particular chapter etched into history - forever known as Three Mile Island.
