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.

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
In this handcoloured woodcut engraving from "The Book of English Trades and Library of the Useful Arts," published in Phillips, London, 1818, we find a saddler deeply engrossed in his craft, meticulously creating a saddle in his well-equipped leather workshop. The saddler, clad in a leather apron, focuses intently on his work, his brow furrowed in concentration. The room is filled with the rich aroma of leather and the soft hum of hand tools at work. Through the window, we catch a glimpse of the bustling town beyond, a reminder of the commercial world outside. But the saddler's attention is solely on the intricate task at hand. He expertly shapes and molds the leather, skillfully using a press to form the saddle's distinctive curves. Nearby, a belt and harness hang from a peg, waiting to be worked on next. The saddler's workshop is a testament to the dedication and craftsmanship required for this age-old occupation. The walls are lined with shelves filled with an array of tools and raw materials. The room is bathed in natural light, casting long, artistic shadows that add depth and texture to the scene. This image offers a rare glimpse into the world of a skilled laborer, an apprentice saddler perhaps, learning the art of saddle making from a master craftsman. The saddler's unwavering focus and the intricate details of his work demonstrate the pride and care that went into each piece, ensuring that the rider and horse were well-equipped for the rigors of the road. This enchanting woodcut engraving is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and tradition of the English trades and the artisans who brought them to life.
