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 depicts the Boulton and Watt steam engine with an innovative planetary gear system, designed by James Watt and Matthew Boulton in 1795. The steam engine, a groundbreaking invention in the realm of transportation, revolutionized the industrial landscape and paved the way for the Age of Steam. In this image, we see the engine in action, with steam being released from the boiler, passing through the cylinder, and ultimately driving the piston. The planetary gear system, located at the bottom of the engine, is a remarkable addition to the design. This intricate mechanism, featuring interlocking gears, allowed for more efficient power transmission and greater control over the engine's speed. The steam engine, with its distinctive features such as the large flywheel, crankshaft, and connecting rod, is a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of its inventors. The use of a rope pulley system to transmit power to external machinery is also evident in this print. The scene is set against a backdrop of hills and a quaint village, suggesting the engine's potential to transform the rural landscape through the power of steam. The inclusion of a horse-drawn cart in the foreground highlights the contrast between traditional and emerging modes of transportation. This print, created by renowned engraver Thomas Webster, offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the Boulton and Watt steam engine with planetary gear in all its glory. A true masterpiece of engineering, this steam engine marked a significant milestone in the history of transportation and industry.
