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 photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, as a skilled watchmaker intently focuses on his craft in his cluttered workshop. The watchmaker, dressed in the attire of the late 1800s, is seated at his bench, meticulously making fine adjustments to a intricate watch part, possibly a cog, using a bow lathe. The precision and care he puts into his work is evident in the intense concentration etched on his face. Surrounding him, the walls of the workshop are adorned with an array of wall, mantel, and grandfather clocks, each ticking away in rhythmic harmony. The historical instruments and pieces of clockwork machinery add to the rich atmosphere of the scene, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a time when craftsmanship and science were intertwined. The watchmaker's bench is cluttered with various tools and watch parts, all essential to his trade. The air in the room is thick with the scent of oil and the sound of gears turning, a testament to the dedication and passion he has for his craft. The intricate and delicate nature of watchmaking is on full display, as the watchmaker's nimble fingers dance over the tiny pieces, making minute adjustments to ensure the smooth operation of the timepiece. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the historical significance of clock and watchmaking, and the skill and artistry that goes into creating these intricate pieces of machinery. It is a glimpse into a time when the measurement of time was a true craft, and the work of a watchmaker was a source of pride and admiration.
