DEC PDP-1 computer
DEC PDP-1 computer, on display at the Computer History Museum, USA, with take-away food and drink. Developed by DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation) in 1960, this 18-bit computer cost $120, 000. It was used for laboratory equipment control and for international telephone message- switching systems. The museums collection includes over 3000 artefacts from 1945 to 1990. Established in 1996, the museum preserves and returns to working order, computers that have had a significant historical impact. The museum is due to be relocated, becoming part of the NASA Research Park, California, USA, in 2005

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 showcases the iconic DEC PDP-1 computer, a groundbreaking piece of technology developed by Digital Equipment Corporation in 1960. With its sleek metal cabinet and impressive display screen, this 18-bit computer was not only a marvel of engineering but also carried a hefty price tag of $120,000. The photograph captures the computer on display at the Computer History Museum in the United States. Positioned alongside it are take-away food and drink items, adding an intriguing contrast between modern indulgences and historical computing artifacts. This juxtaposition emphasizes how far technology has advanced since the PDP-1's heyday. Used primarily for laboratory equipment control and international telephone message-switching systems, this machine played a crucial role in advancing scientific research and communication networks during its time. The Computer History Museum boasts an extensive collection of over 3000 artifacts spanning from 1945 to 1990, preserving significant pieces that have shaped computing history. Established in 1996 with a mission to restore computers with historical significance back into working order, the museum has become a hub for science education and exploration. Although this particular exhibit is set to be relocated as part of NASA Research Park in California's Silicon Valley in 2005, its impact on visitors will continue to inspire awe for years to come. In collaboration with Science Photo Library, this image serves as a reminder of our technological evolution while honoring the pioneering efforts behind one of computing's most influential machines – the DEC PDP-1.
