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.

This print transports us back to the early 20th century, capturing a moment in time at the Gold Melting House of the Royal Mint in Tower Hill, London. The image showcases the heart of Britain's financial power as molten gold is transformed into valuable currency. The industrial interior is filled with intricate machinery that hums with activity, while men diligently work amidst billowing clouds of steam. Each worker plays a crucial role in this manufacturing process, their expertise evident as they manipulate metal and operate complex machines. In this snapshot of history, we witness the fusion of tradition and progress. The Royal Mint stands as a symbol of British heritage and craftsmanship, yet it also embraces modern technology to meet the demands of an evolving world economy.

Their collective efforts ensure that every coin minted here carries both intrinsic value and national pride. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece by an unknown creator, we are reminded that behind every piece of currency lies countless hours of labor and expertise.
