23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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
1. Title: "James Watt's Steam Engine: A Revolutionary Invention of the 18th Century" This print showcases the groundbreaking invention of James Watt, a Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer, from the late 18th century. Widely regarded as the father of the Industrial Revolution, Watt's steam engine significantly transformed the landscape of industry and technology. The intricate design of the engine, as depicted in this print, is a testament to Watt's innovative mind and engineering prowess. The engine, which was a major improvement upon the Newcomen atmospheric engine, featured a separate condenser that allowed for continuous steam power, making it far more efficient and versatile than its predecessor. The steam engine, as seen in this print, was a marvel of engineering, with its complex network of gears, pistons, and valves working in harmony to convert thermal energy into mechanical work. The engine's compact size and portability made it ideal for powering various applications, from pumping water in mines to driving textile machinery in factories. The impact of Watt's steam engine on industry was profound. It enabled the mechanization of production processes, leading to increased productivity, cost savings, and the emergence of new industries. The engine's widespread adoption marked a turning point in history, paving the way for the Industrial Revolution and the modern world we know today. This print serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and creativity of the human mind, and the transformative power of a single invention. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of James Watt and the steam engine, which continues to shape our world in countless ways.
