23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 takes us back to the 16th century, providing a glimpse into the world of German book manufacture. The image showcases three essential workshops: that of a paper maker, a printer, and a bookbinder. Each artisan is deeply engrossed in their craft, diligently working towards creating literary masterpieces. The scene exudes an air of industry and dedication as these skilled individuals bring together their expertise to produce books that would shape knowledge for generations to come. The printing press stands tall in the background, symbolizing the technological advancements of the time. Jost Amman's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical moment alive. His illustration captures not only the physical labor involved but also highlights the importance of collaboration between different professions within this trade. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot from centuries ago, we are reminded of how far book manufacturing has evolved since then. Yet it is through such glimpses into our past that we can truly appreciate and understand the rich heritage behind literature and its creation. This photograph serves as a testament to Germany's contribution to arts and culture during this era while honoring those who dedicated their lives to preserving knowledge through their craftsmanship.
