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.

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 "The victims of science, the director of the Gotthard Observatory froze to death. . " by Achille Beltrame depicts a tragic incident that occurred at the Observatory in Gotthard. In this color lithograph, we see a chilling scene where the lifeless body of the observatory's director is discovered by St. Bernard dogs from a nearby hospice. The image captures both the progress and perils of scientific exploration in one frame. The frozen corpses lying amidst the snowy mountainous landscape serve as a stark reminder of nature's unforgiving power. The observatory, nestled high up in the Swiss Alps, stands as a testament to man's relentless pursuit of knowledge and understanding. As we gaze upon this haunting illustration, it evokes feelings of awe and melancholy. It serves as a poignant tribute to those who have sacrificed their lives in search of truth and advancement. The presence of these loyal St. Bernard dogs adds an element of hope amidst tragedy, symbolizing their role as guardians and rescuers in such treacherous conditions. Beltrame's attention to detail brings every aspect to life - from the majestic mountainscape to each individual snowflake delicately falling around these unfortunate souls. This artwork not only highlights human vulnerability but also pays homage to our enduring spirit even in face adversity. "The victims of science" serves as a powerful reminder that progress often comes at great cost; however, it is through these sacrifices that humanity continues its quest for knowledge and innovation.
