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 print from Science Photo Library takes us back in time to the bustling streets of medieval Florence in the year 1408. The image showcases a remarkable bas relief, offering a glimpse into the world of skilled medieval stone masons and their intricate craftsmanship. In this scene, four dedicated craftsmen are diligently working on various projects. Starting from the left, we witness a mason meticulously building a sturdy wall, laying each stone with precision and care. Beside him stands another craftsman, holding a drill as he works on shaping an elegant column. Moving along, our attention is drawn to the third mason who skillfully utilizes a compass and square to construct an ornate capital - showcasing both mathematical prowess and artistic finesse. Finally, at the far right of the relief, we find an artistically inclined sculptor chiseling away at a putti using his trusty mattock. The photograph not only captures these talented individuals engrossed in their work but also provides valuable insights into medieval construction techniques and tools used during that era. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and dedication throughout history. As we admire this historical masterpiece by Nanno de Banco within Orsanmichele's walls, it reminds us of how far technology has advanced over centuries while honoring those who laid its foundations brick by brick through their unwavering commitment to their craft.
