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
This print showcases an engraving of the renowned Giovanni Domenico Cassini, a prominent Italian-French mathematician, astronomer, engineer, and astrologer. The image captures Cassini in a half-length portrait, exuding an air of intellectual prowess and scientific curiosity. In this 17th-century French School engraving from a private collection, Cassini stands against a backdrop that holds significant historical significance - the Paris Observatory. With his outstretched arm pointing towards the observatory building in the background, it becomes evident that he was its first director. Cassini's contributions to science are vast and groundbreaking. He is famously known for discovering Jupiter's moons and formulating what is now referred to as "Cassini's laws". His expertise in mathematics and astronomy shines through as he gazes into the distance with determination. The composition of this artwork bears resemblance to Leopold Durangel's 1879 painting at the Paris Observatory. It is possible that Durangel drew inspiration from this very engraving when creating his masterpiece. This print not only pays homage to one of history's greatest scientific minds but also serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge about our universe. As we admire Cassini surrounded by various astronomical instruments and globes, we are reminded of his immense impact on our understanding of celestial bodies and their movements.
