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 showcases the intricate art of warping silk threads, as depicted in Denis Diderot's renowned Encyclopedia. Created between 1751 and 1772 by Louis-Jacques Goussier, this engraving captures the essence of French textile manufacturing during that era. In this illustration, we see a skilled female artisan seated at her workstation. With utmost concentration and precision, she employs a weaving technique to thread the delicate silk fibers onto a wheel-like apparatus. This method is essential for reeling and preparing the silk threads before they are transformed into luxurious textiles. The image offers an illuminating glimpse into the world of traditional craftsmanship. It serves as both an educational tool and an artistic representation of the meticulous work that goes into creating fine silks. The attention to detail in every aspect of this scene is remarkable – from the careful positioning of each thread to the serene expression on our artisan's face. As we admire this evocative print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how these exquisite fabrics were manufactured centuries ago. It reminds us of the rich history behind such industries and pays homage to those who dedicated their lives to perfecting their craft. This photograph print from Fine Art Finder truly encapsulates not only Diderot's Encyclopedia but also highlights France's significant contribution to textile production throughout history.
