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 showcases the formidable Krupps 1000-Pounder Gun, a true marvel of 19th-century technology. Created by an unknown artist, this heavy artillery piece was crafted from strong and durable steel, reflecting the expertise of the German company founded by Friedrich Krupp. The image is taken from "The Franco-Prussian War: its causes, incidents and consequences", Volume I, written by Captain H M Hozier in 1872. It offers a glimpse into the weaponry used during that era's warfare. Intriguingly captured in black and white, this engraving highlights the sheer power and sophistication of this weapon. The intricate details emphasize its significance as a symbol of military might during that period. As we delve into history through this print collector's item from William Mackenzie in London, we are transported back to a time when metalworking techniques were advancing rapidly. This particular gun serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit for more efficient means of defense.
