17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 print captures the intricate process of gold bar production at a Tanaka Kikinzoku Kogyo factory in Kanagawa prefecture. The image showcases a mold for forming gold bars, which is being kept at high temperature inside an oven. This crucial step ensures that the molten gold can be poured into the mold and solidify into perfectly shaped bars. The factory depicted in this photograph specializes in producing not only gold bars but also various other gold products used in industrial applications. Additionally, it plays a vital role in recycling precious metals like gold from old jewelry and industrial scrap, contributing to sustainable practices within the industry. Photographer Michael Caronna skillfully captures the intensity and precision required during this manufacturing process. The golden glow emanating from the heated oven adds an element of warmth to the image while symbolizing wealth and prosperity associated with this precious metal. Through this visually striking composition, we are offered a glimpse into Japan's thriving business of gold production and recycling. It serves as a reminder of how meticulous craftsmanship combined with advanced technology can transform raw materials into valuable assets that hold both historical significance and economic value.
