31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 process of making lead shots in 19th century Europe. The engraving showcases a scene of workers diligently sorting shot, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail required in this craft.
The image transports us back in time to an era where craftsmanship and precision were paramount. The molten lead is depicted cascading down from a height, forming perfectly spherical shapes as it solidifies upon contact with water below. The gravity-defying nature of this process is truly mesmerizing to behold.
In the background, we catch a glimpse of Waterloo Bridge, adding a sense of historical context to the scene. The shot tower looms large in the distance, serving as a reminder of the industrial revolution that was sweeping through Europe during this period.
As we study this print closely, we can almost hear the clinking sound of metal against metal and feel the heat emanating from the molten lead. It serves as a poignant reminder of the ingenuity and skill possessed by craftsmen of yesteryear.
Overall, this print is not just a visual feast for the eyes but also a testament to human innovation and perseverance in mastering complex techniques such as creating lead shots.
