23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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.

Plate Number 504. Ascending and Descending Stairs, 1887
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph captured by Eadweard Muybridge, an influential figure in the field of early photography. This collotype print measures 46.8x59.1 cm and belongs to the Corcoran Collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , USA. The image is part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series titled "Animal Locomotion: An Electro-photographic Investigation of Consecutive Phases of Animal Movements" which was published in 1887 as a comprehensive study on motion and movement. In this particular plate, we witness a female figure gracefully navigating a flight of stairs. Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail allows us to observe each phase of her ascent and descent with remarkable clarity. The photograph captures not only the physical action but also conveys a sense of directionality as she carries herself through space. This extraordinary visual documentation showcases Muybridge's pioneering use of photography as a scientific tool for studying human locomotion. It serves as a testament to his innovative approach that revolutionized our understanding of movement during his time. As we gaze upon this timeless piece, we are transported back to the late nineteenth century when Muybridge's work challenged conventional notions about capturing motion through artistry and technology alike.
