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 intricate details of an English one pound coin like never before. Through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are able to witness the embossed writing on the coin's edge in stunning clarity. The magnification of x8 at a 6x7cm size allows us to appreciate every letter and word imprinted on this monetary masterpiece. The surface of the coin, which represents British currency, is meticulously machined with precision and care. Each letter stands out boldly, revealing the pride and craftsmanship that goes into producing these coins in England. The embossing technique used creates a three-dimensional effect, adding depth and texture to the design. As we examine this SEM image closely, we can observe how each indentation is perfectly formed, showcasing flawless knurl patterns along the edges. These knurls not only add aesthetic appeal but also serve as security features against counterfeiting attempts. This print serves as a reminder of both our rich history and evolving technology within our monetary system. It highlights the attention to detail that goes into creating something as seemingly simple as a pound coin while emphasizing its significance in everyday transactions.
