Pressure cooker
Pressure cooker. Historical artwork of the pressure cooker, La Marmite de Papin, invented by Dennis Papin in 1681. It consists of an iron pot with a sealed lid. The pressure vent (upper centre, labelled S) allows steam to escape and stop the pot from exploding. By increasing the pressure, water boils at a higher temperature and food will cook faster

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 historical artwork of the pressure cooker, La Marmite de Papin, invented by Dennis Papin in 1681. The intricate illustration depicts an iron pot with a tightly sealed lid, while the pressure vent (located at the upper center and labeled S) ingeniously allows steam to escape, preventing any potential explosions. This early engineering device revolutionized cooking by harnessing increased pressure to elevate water's boiling point and consequently cook food faster. The monochrome artistry beautifully captures the essence of this technological marvel from the 17th century. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of innovation throughout history. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness Denis Papin's remarkable invention that paved the way for modern-day pressure cookers. Its significance lies not only in its mechanical prowess but also in its contribution to French cuisine and culinary practices worldwide. Beyond its culinary impact, this invention holds great historical importance within the realm of science and physics. By exploring how pressure affects various substances like water and steam, it exemplifies how scientific discoveries can shape everyday life. As we admire this stunning piece of art from Science Photo Library, let us appreciate both the beauty inherent in historical artifacts as well as their profound influence on our present-day lives.
