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 woodcut print from the 1658 edition of "Orbis Sensualium Pictus" by John Amos Comenius showcases a delightful array of boys engaging in various sports and activities. The book, known as "Visible World in Pictures" holds the distinction of being one of the earliest educational resources specifically designed for children. In this particular section on human activity, we witness a vibrant scene filled with energy and excitement. Boys can be seen participating in traditional pastimes such as bowling, where they aim to knock down nine pins with skillful precision. Their enthusiasm is palpable as they cheer each other on while rolling the ball towards victory. The image also captures moments of playful camaraderie through games like top spinning, bandy (a precursor to hockey), whip cracking, and even stilt walking. These activities not only provide entertainment but also foster physical coordination and social interaction among young individuals. Comenius's woodcut artistry brings these scenes to life with intricate details and expressive figures that transport us back to a time when simplicity reigned supreme. This timeless snapshot reminds us of the universal joy found in childhood play across different cultures and eras. As we gaze upon this historical treasure, we are reminded that education can be both informative and enjoyable—a sentiment that continues to resonate today as we strive to create engaging learning experiences for future generations.
