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 etching, titled "Encyclopédie, ou Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers" (Encyclopedia, or a Systematic Dictionary of the Sciences, Arts, and Crafts), is an exquisite representation of the mineral extraction and transport process, taken from the renowned 18th-century French encyclopedia by Denis Diderot and Jean d'Alembert. The image, created between 1717 and 1784, showcases a vertical scene of men at work in Catalonia, Spain, specifically in Barcelona's Biblioteca de Catalunya (National Library of Catalonia). The intricate etching depicts a group of men engaged in the laborious process of mining and transporting minerals. The men, dressed in masculine attire, are shown using various tools and techniques to extract minerals from the earth. Once extracted, the minerals are loaded onto carts or wagons for transport to their intended destinations. This image is a testament to the social and economic importance of mineral extraction and transport during this period in Europe. The encyclopedia, published in Paris between 1751 and 1783, was a groundbreaking collaborative project that aimed to document all known knowledge at the time. The etching is a visual representation of the encyclopedia's comprehensive approach to documenting various industries and trades, providing a valuable historical record of the time. The vertical composition of the image, with its rich colors and intricate details, invites the viewer to explore the intricacies of this essential process and the people behind it.
