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 copperplate engraving showcases the intricate design of an English reflecting circle by Edward Troughton, a renowned maker of astronomical instruments. The detailed illustration, created by Wilson Lowry after a drawing by J. Farey Jr., is featured in Abraham Rees' Cyclopedia or Universal Dictionary of Arts, Sciences and Literature from 1820.
The precision and craftsmanship of Troughton's work is evident in this print, highlighting the sophistication of astronomical technology during that era.

As we gaze upon this historical artifact through the lens of time, we are transported to a world where scientific discovery and innovation were at the forefront of human achievement. The collaboration between Troughton, Lowry, Farey Jr., and Rees resulted in a masterpiece that continues to inspire awe and wonder centuries later.
