Adding Calculator Counting Machine Pascal

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
In this print from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported back in time to witness a clerk diligently operating a Pascal type of adding machine. The woodcut, created in London in 1835, beautifully captures the essence of early French counting calculators. The image showcases the intricate design and craftsmanship of this remarkable machine, which was named after its inventor Blaise Pascal (1623-1664). With its mechanical gears and levers, it revolutionized the way calculations were performed during that era. This particular model is a testament to human ingenuity and innovation. As we observe the clerk engrossed in his work, one cannot help but marvel at how far technology has advanced since then. What once required manual labor and meticulous attention can now be effortlessly accomplished with modern-day computers or smartphones. Nevertheless, there is an undeniable charm to witnessing these historical artifacts being put into action. This photograph print serves as a reminder of our rich technological heritage and pays homage to those who paved the way for today's sophisticated machines. It invites us to reflect on how far we have come while appreciating the foundations upon which our current digital landscape is built. Archive's preservation of this moment allows us to appreciate both the beauty of artistry captured through woodcut printing techniques and the significance of historical advancements such as Pascal's adding machine.
