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 titled "Weighing with a steelyard (right)" takes us back in time to Nuremberg, 1547. The image is extracted from Gaultherus Rivius' renowned book "Architecture Mathematischen Kunst" showcasing the meticulous art of measurement and weighing during that era. In this woodcut depiction, we witness a scene of utmost precision and craftsmanship. A skilled individual stands beside a steelyard, an ancient balance scale used for measuring weight. With intense focus and concentration, he carefully adjusts the weights on one side while delicately holding the object being weighed on the other end. This process exemplifies the importance placed on accuracy and fairness in trade during those times. The woodcut technique employed in this print adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its historical significance. Each line etched into the medium tells a story of dedication to detail and mastery of craft. As we gaze upon this piece from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported to an era where mathematical principles intertwined seamlessly with architectural pursuits. It serves as a reminder of humanity's unyielding quest for knowledge and understanding through scientific exploration. Without mentioning any commercial use or affiliations, let us appreciate this remarkable artwork for what it truly represents – an invaluable glimpse into our collective past where measurement, weighing techniques, architecture, mathematischen kunst intersected harmoniously under Gaultherus Rivius' expert eye.
