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 stunning engraving captures the historic Courtyard of Gresham College in the 18th century, a place steeped in intellectual and scientific significance. The Royal Society, one of the most prestigious scientific societies in England, was formally constituted at Gresham College on November 28, 1660, making it a pivotal meeting place for learned minds until 1710. The intricate details of the architecture and bustling activity within the courtyard are beautifully depicted in this print. The image transports us back to a time when scholars gathered to exchange ideas, conduct experiments, and push the boundaries of knowledge. As we gaze upon this engraving, we can almost hear the lively discussions and debates that must have taken place within these hallowed walls. The sense of history and tradition is palpable as we imagine luminaries such as Isaac Newton or Robert Hooke walking through these very same pathways centuries ago. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring legacy of Gresham College and its role in shaping our understanding of science and society. It is a testament to human curiosity and ingenuity that continues to inspire us today.
