Geometric Construction
Here is the geometric construction of the numbers on the 9x13cm Photo Frame. Note the intersection points. The rectangle is 9x13cm which is the size the numbers are describing. There are 6 even divisions horizontally of 1.5cms. This is the same size square that works vertically. The large circle is 9cm and the smaller circle is 6cm. The smaller circle is centred vertically on the larger. The angles are at 45 degrees. The gap between the 1 and the three is derived from the intersection point between the horizontal 1 and the angle of the 9 where the stroke intersects with the circle. You can keep on finding intersection points if you look. Intersections are the magic of geometric constructions. Artists and designers from all cultures around the world have been fascinated by this for centuries. I think it is one example of a unifying factor of the human race.
