Carpenter Creating Lots Piece Shavings Woodworking
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 evocative image captures the essence of traditional woodworking in the late 19th century, as a skilled carpenter meticulously planes a piece of wood in a rustic workshop. Dressed in a simple, workman's outfit, the carpenter focuses intently on his task, his brow furrowed with concentration. Wood shavings pile up around him, a testament to the labor-intensive process of transforming raw wood into a finished product. The scene transports us back in time to an era when woodworking was a vital industry, with carpenters in high demand to construct homes, furniture, and other essential items. The use of hand tools, such as the plane, was commonplace before the advent of power tools. The wood, likely sourced from local forests, would have been carefully selected and seasoned before being worked on. The historical context of this photograph is further emphasized by the absence of modern conveniences, such as electricity or running water. The workshop is lit by natural light filtering in through a small window, and the carpenter's tools are arranged on a simple wooden bench. The rough-hewn walls and exposed beams add to the authenticity of the scene, making it a fascinating glimpse into the past. This image offers a rare insight into the daily life of a carpenter in the late 1800s and the importance of woodworking in the industrial age. It serves as a reminder of the craftsmanship and dedication required to create beautiful and functional objects from wood, and the deep connection between humans and nature that underpins this timeless craft.
