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 showcases the cover of a steel department trade catalogue from 1928, belonging to Ibbotson Brothers and Company Limited. The renowned manufacturers of steel, saws, files, springs, bolts and nuts were based at the esteemed Globe Works on Penistone Road in Sheffield. Founded by William Ibbotson in 1809 on Bridge Street, the company underwent various transformations before settling at its iconic location. The historical significance of this catalogue is evident as it provides a glimpse into the diverse range of products offered by Ibbotson Brothers during that era. From stove grates to fenders, saws to scythes, edge tools and more; their expertise extended across multiple industries. Despite facing bankruptcy in 1846, William Ibbotson's resilience led him to re-establish the Globe Works at Cross Smithfield. Eventually relocating to Russell Street (later renamed Alma Street) by 1862 proved fruitful for the company's growth and prosperity. Intriguingly enough, Jonas Woodhead and Sons Limited acquired Ibbotson Brothers in 1939 but retained its name until 1971 when Woodhead Components Limited absorbed all operations within the Globe Steel Works. This remarkable photograph not only preserves an important piece of Sheffield's industrial heritage but also serves as a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by Ibbotson Brothers and their contributions to manufacturing excellence throughout history.
