1857 Engineers Imeche Institution Invitation Mechanical Medal Whitworth
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 photograph captures the distinguished figure of Sir Joseph Whitworth (1776-1856), a pioneering mechanical engineer and a prominent member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). The image, dated 1857, shows Sir Whitworth in formal attire, wearing the prestigious medal of the Institution bestowed upon him for his outstanding contributions to the field of mechanical engineering. The medal, adorned with intricate designs and engravings, symbolizes his recognition and esteem within the engineering community. The photograph also includes an invitation to an event held by the Institution, likely a meeting or dinner. The elegant design of the invitation reflects the refined and prestigious nature of the organization. Sir Whitworth's involvement with the Institution spanned several decades, and he served as the President from 1835 to 1836. His tenure was marked by significant advancements in engineering practices and the establishment of important standards, such as the Whitworth thread, which is still in use today. Sir Joseph Whitworth's groundbreaking work in engineering, particularly in the areas of precision engineering and interchangeable parts, revolutionized the manufacturing industry and laid the foundation for the Industrial Revolution. His dedication to the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and his unwavering commitment to advancing engineering knowledge and practices cemented his place in history as a visionary and influential figure in the field.
