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
This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Andrea Bernieri, titled 'Water Buffalo and Peasant in Chinese Agriculture,' is an intriguing snapshot of rural life in China during the mid-19th century. The image showcases the backbreaking labor involved in traditional Chinese agriculture, with a water buffalo leading the way as it drags a harrow through a rice paddy. The powerful animal's determined expression and the rippling muscles in its shoulders convey the immense strength required for this task. Following closely behind the water buffalo is a barefoot peasant, dressed in simple, loose-fitting clothing. His focused gaze is fixed on the ground ahead, indicating his unwavering commitment to the labor at hand. The harrow, a tool used to break up and aerate the soil, is pulled effortlessly by the water buffalo, making the peasant's job more manageable. This engraving, part of Giulio Ferrario's 'Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World,' offers a unique perspective into the daily life of Chinese farmers during this period. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the handcoloured engraving bring the scene to life, allowing us to witness the rich tapestry of Chinese agriculture and the deep connection between farmers, their animals, and the land.
