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
Sir Robert Abbott Hadfield (1858-1940), 1st Baronet of Sheffield, was a renowned English metallurgist whose groundbreaking work with steel alloys earned him international acclaim. This portrait of Sir Hadfield, published in Vanity Fair, showcases the distinguished scientist in his prime. Born in Sheffield, England, Hadfield's fascination with metals began at an early age. He studied at the Royal School of Mines in London and later at the University of Leuven in Belgium, where he conducted research on steel. His innovative work led to the invention of manganese steel and silicon steel, which revolutionized the steel industry. Manganese steel, also known as Hadfield steel, is a high-manganese low-phosphorus steel that exhibits excellent hardness and toughness. It was first produced in 1882, and its primary application was in the manufacturing of armor plates for ships. Hadfield steel proved to be a game-changer in naval warfare, providing ships with superior protection against enemy fire. Silicon steel, on the other hand, is a low-carbon high-silicon steel that is widely used in the production of electrical transformers. Hadfield's invention of this alloy in 1895 significantly improved the efficiency of electrical power transmission. Sir Robert Hadfield's contributions to the field of metallurgy were not only significant but also far-reaching. His inventions transformed various industries, including shipbuilding, steel production, and electrical power transmission. This portrait, published in Vanity Fair, serves as a testament to his remarkable achievements and enduring legacy.
