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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate design of Wheatstone's needle (pointer) telegraph from 1890. Developed by Sir Charles Wheatstone, this innovative communication device revolutionized long-distance messaging in the late nineteenth century. The image showcases the sender on the left and receiver on the right, with a series of alphabet letters displayed for messaging purposes. The telegraph operator is seen manipulating handles to send messages through combined movements that activate the electromagnetic needle. Wheatstone's invention utilized conventional signals and a galvanometer to transmit messages over long distances, providing a reliable means of communication in an era before widespread telephone use. The distinctive alarm bell added an element of urgency to incoming messages, alerting operators to new transmissions. The precision and craftsmanship of this telegraph machine are evident in every detail captured in this photograph. From the delicate lettering on each dial to the smooth manipulation of handles by skilled operators, every aspect of Wheatstone's invention speaks to its importance in shaping modern communication technology. As we gaze upon this historical artifact frozen in time, we are reminded of the ingenuity and creativity that have propelled humanity forward into an age of instant communication and connectivity. Wheatstone's needle telegraph stands as a testament to human innovation and progress in overcoming barriers through technological advancement.
