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 engraving showcases a detailed section of the breech of a Martini-Henry Rifle, an iconic weapon from the 19th century. The image, created by an English School artist in the Victorian era, offers a glimpse into the intricate manufacturing process behind this powerful firearm. The engraving highlights various components of the rifle's action, including the extractor axis, barrel stud, tumbler axis, and trigger axis. Each part is meticulously depicted with precision and accuracy. From the locking bolt to the lever catch spring, every element plays a crucial role in ensuring smooth operation and reliable performance. This illustration was originally featured in "Great Industries of Great Britain" published by Cassell around 1885. It serves as a testament to Britain's industrial prowess during that time period when it led Europe in manufacturing advancements. The Martini-Henry Rifle itself was widely used by British infantry during this era and played a significant role in shaping military tactics. Its robust construction made it an effective defensive weapon on battlefields across Europe. As we admire this print today, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also of Britain's rich heritage as an industrial powerhouse. This image captures both technical expertise and artistic skill while offering us insight into one aspect of British culture during the Industrial Revolution.
