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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Specimens of volcanic matter found in the crater of Vesuvius, Plate XXXXVI" takes us on a journey into the heart of one of nature's most powerful forces. Published in 1776 by Sir William Hamilton, an esteemed scientist and diplomat, this print showcases a remarkable collection of geological treasures discovered within the infamous crater. The image bursts with vibrant hues as it unveils an array of specimens meticulously arranged for scientific study. From fistular salts to variegated lava fragments, each specimen tells a unique story about the violent eruptions that have shaped Vesuvius over centuries. The yellow sulphur crystals shimmer against contrasting backgrounds, while pumice stones display their porous texture. As we delve deeper into this visual taxonomy, we are reminded of the Enlightenment era's thirst for knowledge and understanding. This print serves as a testament to Sir William Hamilton's dedication to unraveling the mysteries hidden beneath Earth's surface. The Italian artist Pietro Fabris masterfully captures every intricate detail through his skilled engraving technique. Each line and stroke brings life to these geological wonders, allowing us to appreciate their beauty from afar. In this private collection piece from The Stapleton Collection, we find ourselves transported back in time – standing alongside pioneering scientists who dared to explore nature's raw power firsthand. It is through prints like these that we can continue marveling at our planet's extraordinary geological history and gain insight into its ever-evolving landscape.
