Apron Artisan Craftsman Hammer Pipe Sledgehammer Print Collector7
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 from the 19th century showcases a tradesman, possibly a blacksmith, immersed in his craft. The artisan is depicted wearing traditional work clothes and an apron, indicating his dedication to his occupation. The monochrome color palette adds a sense of nostalgia and authenticity to the image. The male figure exudes confidence as he takes a momentary break from his laborious task, leaning against his tools. In one hand, he holds a smoking pipe, adding an element of relaxation amidst the demanding nature of his profession. His weathered face tells tales of years spent honing his skills and mastering the artistry required for such craftsmanship. The presence of various tools like hammers and sledgehammers scattered around him highlights the meticulousness with which this tradesman approaches each project. Every strike is deliberate and purposeful as he shapes metal into functional works of art. Set against a Victorian backdrop, this photograph captures not only the essence of 19th-century trade but also provides us with insight into the lives and experiences of hardworking individuals who contributed to society's progress during that era. Although we may never know who exactly created this remarkable piece capturing history in its rawest form, it serves as a testament to their talent behind the lens. This print collector's treasure allows us to appreciate both their skillful composition and our collective heritage through glimpses into everyday life centuries ago.
