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.

Thomas Harper, Arithmetician: A Glimpse into the World of 18th Century Accounting (Circa 1765) This evocative image captures the introspective gaze of Thomas Harper, an arithmetician of the 18th century. Unlike his contemporary higher mathematicians, Harper's focus was not on abstract theories and complex equations, but rather on the practical applications of mathematics in the day-to-day activities of an accountant. The setting of this portrait, with its simple wooden table and quill pen, underscores Harper's role as a calculator and number cruncher. His furrowed brow and intense concentration suggest the importance of his work and the meticulous attention to detail required in maintaining financial records during this era. The year is circa 1765, a time when the use of arithmetic was essential for managing personal finances, trade transactions, and tax records. Harper's expertise in mathematics would have been in high demand, making him an indispensable figure in the economic and social fabric of his community. As we gaze upon this historical portrait, we are transported back in time, offering us a unique perspective into the world of an 18th-century arithmetician. Thomas Harper's story serves as a reminder of the crucial role mathematics has played in shaping our financial and economic systems, and the importance of those who dedicate their lives to mastering its practical applications.
