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 print showcases the title-page of Otto von Guericke's groundbreaking work, Experimenta Nova, published in Amsterdam in 1672. This first edition holds within its pages the remarkable accounts of von Guericke's revolutionary inventions and discoveries. At the forefront is his invention of the air pump, a device that allowed for the manipulation and study of air pressure like never before. Alongside this milestone achievement lies his creation of the first electric generating machine, marking a pivotal moment in harnessing electricity for practical use. One cannot overlook the presence of the famous Magdeburg hemispheres, an iconic symbol representing von Guericke's experiments on vacuum and atmospheric pressure. These two large copper hemispheres sealed together demonstrated with great force how powerful air pressure can be. Von Guericke's Experimenta Nova stands as a testament to his brilliant mind and relentless pursuit of scientific knowledge during a time when physics was still in its infancy. Through this extraordinary piece of literature, he not only introduced groundbreaking ideas but also paved the way for future advancements in science and technology. This print serves as a reminder of von Guericke's immense contributions to our understanding of physics while highlighting his significant impact on both past and present generations fascinated by scientific exploration.
