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 remarkable Census Machine of 1890, a groundbreaking invention devised by the brilliant mind of Herman Hollerith. In an era where manual calculations were laborious and time-consuming, this ingenious gang-punch machine revolutionized statistical tabulation during the Eleventh U. S. Census. The image transports us back to late 19th-century America, capturing the essence of innovation and progress that defined this period. The intricate details of the machine are beautifully captured, showcasing its complexity and sophistication. With its punch cards neatly aligned in rows, it is evident that this invention was designed for efficiency and accuracy. Hollerith's genius lies in his ability to combine mathematics with technology. This census machine not only simplified data collection but also streamlined analysis through automated tabulation processes. It marked a significant turning point in history as statisticians could now process vast amounts of information swiftly. While we admire this incredible creation, it is important to note that our focus here is solely on Hollerith's idea rather than any commercial use associated with it. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity at its finest – an embodiment of how one person's innovative thinking can shape an entire field. As we gaze upon this historic artifact from over a century ago, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of technological advancements while appreciating those pioneers who paved the way for modern-day computing systems.
