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 photo print, titled "Blacksmiths at work, 1715" offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of skilled craftsmen during the 18th century. The image showcases two male blacksmiths engrossed in their laborious task, surrounded by an array of tools and equipment. Notably, both men are donning heavy leather aprons as a protective measure against the scorching heat emanating from molten metal and burning charcoal. These aprons serve as a shield to safeguard their bodies from potential harm while working tirelessly at the forge. The print is derived from Magia Naturalis, a renowned publication authored by Johannes Baptista della Porta in Naples back in 1558. This particular edition was printed in Nuremberg in 1715. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and character to this engraving, emphasizing the dedication and concentration exhibited by these blacksmiths. Their strong physique suggests years of honing their craft through hammering metals on anvils with precision using tongs. This image not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the importance of protective clothing within various occupations. It symbolizes how individuals throughout history have prioritized safety measures while pursuing their professions. Overall, this remarkable piece allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship and resilience displayed by these blacksmiths centuries ago—a tribute to their unwavering commitment to their trade amidst challenging conditions.
