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.

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 a significant piece of history - the Perkins Pamphlet from 1797. Published by Elisha Perkins, an American inventor, this pamphlet contains a testimonial that sheds light on his groundbreaking creation: metallic tractors. These pseudo-healing devices caused quite a stir at the end of the 18th century and left an indelible mark on medical practices. Elisha Perkins' invention, the metallic tractors, became renowned for their alleged healing properties. The pamphlet's testimonial captures the essence of this sensation that swept across America during that time. It serves as a testament to both human curiosity and our unending quest for innovative solutions to health issues. The image itself is filled with historical significance and intrigue. The text within the pamphlet offers glimpses into Elisha Perkins' claims about these metal tractors and their supposed ability to alleviate pain and promote well-being. As we gaze upon this relic from over two centuries ago, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how people embraced new ideas in pursuit of better health. While it is important not to mention any commercial use associated with this photo print, its value lies in its ability to educate us about past beliefs and practices while igniting our own sense of wonderment towards scientific progress throughout history.
