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 image from the Codex Atlanticus, a collection of Leonardo da Vinci's notes and sketches, showcases his design for a hydraulic saw. Dating back to the late 15th century, this drawing illustrates Leonardo's innovative approach to harnessing the power of water to create mechanical wonders. The hydraulic saw, depicted on Codex Atlanticus sheet 1078, is a testament to Leonardo's engineering prowess. The design features interconnected cog wheels and a water pump, which would have been used to generate hydraulic pressure. This pressure would then be transmitted to the saw, enabling it to cut through various materials with ease. Water as a source of motive power was a fundamental principle of technology during Leonardo's time and continued to be so for centuries to come. Leonardo's drawing represents an essential piece of the historical puzzle, demonstrating the ingenuity and curiosity that characterized the European Renaissance. Today, this hydraulic saw design is on display at the Science and Technology Museum Leonardo da Vinci in Milan, Italy. It serves as a reminder of the foundational role that Leonardo and his contemporaries played in shaping the technological landscape of Europe and the modern world. The intricate details of the drawing reveal Leonardo's meticulous design process, showcasing his ability to envision complex systems and translate them into practical applications. The hydraulic saw, with its interconnected gears and water-driven mechanism, is a testament to Leonardo's genius and his enduring influence on the fields of engineering and technology.
