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 photograph captures the brilliant mind of Charles Proteus Steinmetz, an American electrical engineer of German origin. Taken in 1922, the image showcases Steinmetz in his laboratory at General Electric in Schenectady, New York. With a stoic expression on his face, he holds pieces from a tree branch that had been damaged by a stroke from his artificial lightning generator. Steinmetz's contribution to the field of electrical engineering cannot be overstated. His intelligence and innovative ideas propelled him to become one of the most influential figures in early power technology. In this portrait, we see him surrounded by various tools and equipment that reflect his dedication to advancing scientific knowledge. Notably, Steinmetz is seen holding a cigar between his fingers while sitting on a stool amidst an interior filled with woodwork. This detail adds character to the photograph and hints at his penchant for enjoying a smoke during moments of contemplation. The Granger Collection has beautifully preserved this snapshot from history as part of their Carousel Collection. It serves as a testament to Steinmetz's brilliance and enduring legacy within the realm of electrical engineering. As you gaze upon this image, you can't help but marvel at the man who harnessed lightning itself for scientific exploration and progress.
