1890 Engraving Drying Indonesia Sumatra Tobacco 19th Century Engraving Sheds

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 vintage engraving from 1890 takes us back to Sumatra, Indonesia, where the tobacco industry thrived in the late 19th century. The image showcases a scene of drying sheds specifically built for this purpose. These rustic structures were essential in the tobacco production process, providing an ideal environment for curing and drying the leaves. The intricate engravement technique used to create this print adds a touch of elegance and nostalgia to the artwork. It captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects the cultural significance of tobacco cultivation in Sumatra during that era. As we delve into this historic art piece, we are transported to a different time and place – one where traditional practices shaped local economies and defined cultural identities. This engraving serves as a window into Indonesian history, offering insights into both artistic techniques prevalent at that time and societal values associated with tobacco production. With its retro charm and Victorian aesthetic, this engraved image by 000143 is reminiscent of an era long gone but still preserved through visual storytelling. It invites us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind it but also encourages exploration of our shared human heritage through historical representations like these.
