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 a significant moment in history - the birth of English printing. The image features William Caxton, the pioneering figure responsible for introducing the printing press to England in the 15th century. With his determined gaze and poised stance, Caxton exudes an air of confidence as he stands beside his revolutionary creation. The focal point of this engraving is undoubtedly the first sheet produced by Caxton's press. This remarkable piece of paper symbolizes a monumental shift in communication and knowledge dissemination during medieval times. It represents not only technological advancement but also marks a turning point towards cultural enlightenment. Surrounded by men dressed in Renaissance attire, we catch a glimpse into Caxton's bustling workshop. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation and excitement as they witness history being made before their eyes. Each individual plays a crucial role in this transformative process, contributing to the birth of modern printmaking. E. H Wehnert's painting serves as inspiration for this exquisite engraving from the 19th century, capturing both historical accuracy and artistic finesse. Through this visual masterpiece, we are transported back to an era where innovation merged with tradition to shape our world today. Granger Art on Demand presents us with yet another treasure from their collection - an ode to human ingenuity and progress that continues to resonate centuries later.
