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, titled "Nailsmith, 1751-1777" is a remarkable piece from the renowned Encyclopedie by Diderot & d'Alembert. Dating back to the 18th century, this print showcases the concept of progress in traditional craftsmanship. The illustration takes us inside an interior workshop in France, where a skilled nailsmith diligently hammers away at his craft. The attention to detail captured in this engraving allows us to witness the intricate process of nail making during that era. As we delve into this monochrome depiction, we are transported to a typical countryside location where hard work and dedication were essential for survival. This image serves as a testament to the importance of manual labor and trade during those times. Denis Diderot's artistic vision shines through in this print as he beautifully captures both the physicality and artistry involved in creating nails. The simplicity of black and white adds depth and texture to every stroke on paper. Preserved within a private collection today, this artwork reminds us of our rich cultural heritage while highlighting how far we have come since then. It invites contemplation on how advancements have shaped our lives over centuries but also encourages appreciation for traditional crafts that still hold value today
