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 from Universal Images Group (UIG) takes us back to the year 1869, showcasing the remarkable Union Pacific Railroad wooden trestle bridge at Dale Creek. A testament to human ingenuity and perseverance, this engineering marvel stands tall against the backdrop of nature's beauty. The construction of this viaduct was no small feat. Every single piece of timber used in its creation had to be painstakingly hauled a staggering distance of 1,000 miles all the way from Chicago. The sheer dedication and effort required for such an endeavor is awe-inspiring. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but appreciate the significance of this wooden structure within America's rich railway history. Serving as a vital link between cities and communities across the vast expanse of land, it symbolizes progress and connectivity. The woodcut technique employed in capturing this image adds depth and texture to every intricate detail, allowing us to truly immerse ourselves in the scene. We can almost hear the distant rumble of trains passing over its sturdy tracks, transporting people and goods alike towards new horizons. Let us take a moment to reflect on how far transportation has come since those early days when timber was meticulously transported thousands of miles for construction purposes. This photograph serves as a reminder that even seemingly insurmountable challenges can be overcome with determination and vision - leaving behind legacies that continue to shape our world today.
