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
1. Title: "A Dutch Coppersmith at Work: Crafting Beauty from Copper in the 17th Century" Amidst the lively bustle of a 17th-century Dutch workshop, a skilled coppersmith focuses intently on his craft, his weathered hands deftly shaping a sheet of molten copper. The sun casts long shadows over the outdoor scene, the warm light illuminating the intricate details of his work. His colleagues, also engrossed in their tasks, labor over a colossal copper object nearby, their faces etched with determination and concentration. Copper was a highly sought-after material during this era, valued for its malleability, durability, and resistance to corrosion. The Dutch were renowned for their exceptional copperworking skills, producing intricate decorative items, functional household goods, and large-scale architectural components. This image offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of a coppersmith and the collaborative nature of 17th-century craftsmanship. The coppersmith's tools lay scattered around him, each carefully selected for their specific purpose. A hammer and anvil are positioned nearby, ready for use in shaping the copper. A blowpipe, used to blow air into molten metal to remove impurities, rests at his side. The air is thick with the scent of hot copper and the sound of hammers ringing in the background. This photograph, a captivating window into the past, not only showcases the beauty and intricacy of copperwork but also highlights the dedication, skill, and camaraderie of the Dutch coppersmiths during the 17th century.
