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.

The Manner of Feeding Silkworms, 1753
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating glimpse into the world of sericulture in 18th century England. In this intricate engraving by Benjamin Cole, we are transported to a bustling silkworm farm, where the delicate process of silk production unfolds before our eyes. The scene showcases the interior of a rearing house or Magnangerie, filled with activity and industry. A group of male and female farm workers can be seen diligently tending to the silkworms, carefully feeding them mulberry leaves – their primary source of sustenance. The room is adorned with vibrant green foliage as piles of freshly collected mulberry leaves lie nearby. Amidst the flurry of work, a dog curiously observes its human companions while an elegant lady sweeps away any remnants on the floor with her broom. The presence of both men and women highlights how sericulture was an inclusive industry that employed individuals from various backgrounds. This print not only captures the essence of rural life but also serves as a testament to England's thriving textile industry during this period. It reminds us that behind every luxurious piece of silk fabric lies countless hours spent nurturing these remarkable creatures and cultivating their favorite food source. Benjamin Cole's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical moment to life, allowing us to appreciate the dedication and skill required for silk production in 18th century Britain.
