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.

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
The Venus of Willendorf, dating back to 30000-25000 BC, is a captivating limestone sculpture that showcases the artistic brilliance of our prehistoric ancestors. Colored with red ochre, this 11cm figurine was discovered in Austria in 1908 and now resides in the Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna. This ancient masterpiece belongs to the Gravettian culture of the Upper Palaeolithic Period. It serves as a testament to our fascination with fertility and feminity throughout history. The exaggerated features of this female form highlight its symbolic representation of fecundity and womanhood. The Venus of Willendorf's voluptuousness has made it an iconic symbol in prehistoric art. Its rounded body, emphasizing fertility and abundance, reflects the importance placed on reproduction during that time. This sculpture also challenges modern beauty standards by celebrating a fuller figure. As we gaze upon this timeless work of art, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also its enduring relevance today. The Venus of Willendorf continues to captivate us with her nakedness and semi-nude form, inviting contemplation about our own perceptions of beauty and femininity. Bridgeman Images' photograph beautifully captures every intricate detail and coloration present on this remarkable artifact. Through their lens, we can appreciate the craftsmanship behind this ancient treasure while pondering its profound symbolism.
