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: "Leonardo's Legacy: Adjustable-Tilt Wings and Wing-Beating Devices - A Journey into the Mind of the Renaissance Genius" 2.. This photograph showcases two intricately crafted models inspired by the groundbreaking designs of Leonardo da Vinci, the quintessential polymath of the Italian Renaissance. The models, created by Mario Alberto and Vittorio Somenzi in 1952, are now proudly displayed at the Science and Technology Museum Leonardo da Vinci in Milan, Italy. The first model, titled "Adjustable-Tilt Wing," is a testament to Leonardo's fascination with avian flight and his innovative engineering skills. Based on drawings from the Codex Atlanticus, this model features an articulated wing design, allowing for adjustments in angle to mimic the natural motion of a bird in flight. This design is a precursor to modern flaps and ailerons used in contemporary aircraft. The second model, "Wing-Beating Device with a Screw and Lead Screw System," is inspired by Leonardo's Manuscript B. This intricate machine is designed to simulate the flapping motion of a bird's wings, providing valuable insights into the mechanics of flight. The use of screws and lead screws is a testament to Leonardo's advanced understanding of mechanical engineering. These models serve as a reminder of Leonardo's profound influence on the development of science, technology, and engineering throughout history. His relentless curiosity and innovative spirit continue to inspire generations, making him a true icon of the European Renaissance and a pioneer in the modern age. 3.
