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 Ms 422 Fol. 29 & 30, a remarkable manuscript illustration from the 9th century work "De Natura Rerum" by Isidore of Seville. The image depicts the path of the moon across various constellations, beautifully rendered on vellum by an unknown French artist. The intricate artwork captures the celestial dance between the moon and the zodiac signs, symbolizing both astronomy and astrology. Each constellation is meticulously illustrated with stars that shine brightly against a dark background, creating a sense of wonder and mystery. As we gaze upon this ancient masterpiece, we are transported back in time to an era when people relied on these astronomical observations for navigation and understanding of their world. The significance of each season and month is represented through these constellations, providing insight into how our ancestors perceived time. Notable figures such as Orion, known as "the hunter" can be seen alongside Canicula or Sirius - often referred to as "the dog". Puppis (the poop) ship and Volans (flying fish) add further intrigue to this cosmic tableau. Preserved within Bibliotheque Municipale in Laon, France, this extraordinary piece offers us a glimpse into humanity's fascination with the stars throughout history. Its timeless beauty reminds us that even centuries later, art continues to inspire awe and ignite our curiosity about the universe around us.
