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 print showcases a meticulously crafted model of a sea dredger designed by the legendary Leonardo da Vinci, as depicted in his Codex Atlanticus, sheet 842, 14. Dated between 1486 and 190, this drawing represents one of Leonardo's studies for a dredging and cleaning boat. The innovative design features a digging tool, or bucket, pulled and lifted by a double rope, which is worked by two large wheels. This intricate model, brought to life by the skilled hands of Louis Tursini in 1952, is now proudly displayed at the Science and Technology Museum Leonardo da Vinci in Milan, Italy. Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was a true polymath of the Renaissance era, renowned for his groundbreaking work in various fields, including art, science, and engineering. His Codex Atlanticus is a testament to his vast body of work, containing over 1,200 pages of his notes, sketches, and studies. This particular drawing showcases Leonardo's engineering prowess, as he envisioned solutions to problems that were far ahead of his time. The sea dredger model is a prime example of Leonardo's inventive spirit and his ability to bridge the gap between art and science. The intricate details of the model, from the wheels to the bucket, demonstrate the depth of Leonardo's understanding of the principles of mechanics and hydrodynamics. Today, the model remains a source of inspiration for engineers, historians, and art enthusiasts alike, as it continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and innovative design.
