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 showcases the intricate "Plan of Sandbed Wheel" held by the Earl of Surrey in 1783. The assignees of Thomas Broadbent, hailing from Neepsend, Sheffield, meticulously documented this impressive structure. Surveyor William Fairbank II left no detail unnoticed as he accurately depicted the wheels, dam, and goit (water channel) with utmost precision. The scale of this plan is awe-inspiring - 2 chains to 1 inch or a staggering 40 inches to 1 mile! This level of accuracy allows viewers to grasp the grandeur and complexity of this engineering marvel. Each element is clearly labeled and named for easy identification. A numerical list accompanies the plan, providing detailed descriptions and acreages for each feature. What sets this print apart is its inclusion of vital information such as the height of fall. This crucial data sheds light on how water power was harnessed effectively at Sandbed Wheel during that era. Preserved within Sheffield Libraries' archives under reference arc02739, this historical gem offers a glimpse into Yorkshire's rich industrial heritage.
