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 photo print, titled "The stoke-hole, the mash tun, and the copper, 1886" takes us back to the heart of a bustling 19th-century brewery. The image showcases an intricate web of brewing equipment that formed the backbone of this Victorian brewhouse. Intriguingly detailed, we see a male brewer tending to his duties in the stoke-hole, diligently feeding coal into the furnace that powers this industrial marvel. Behind him stands an imposing mash tun - a vessel used for mashing grains to extract fermentable sugars - its size hinting at the scale of production taking place within these walls. Adjacent to it is a gleaming copper vat where fermentation magic happens as yeast transforms those sugars into alcohol. The architectural grandeur of this building cannot be ignored; its towering presence speaks volumes about both craftsmanship and ambition. It serves as a testament to an era when breweries were not just places of business but symbols of progress and community. This engraving from Charles Tomlinson's Cyclopaedia offers us a glimpse into an age when beer was more than just a drink – it represented tradition, innovation, and human ingenuity. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece today, let us raise our glasses in appreciation for those who paved the way for modern brewing techniques while preserving their rich history in every sip we take.
