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 captures a pivotal moment in medical history, as Dr. Roussell of Geneva administers a direct blood transfusion from a volunteer to a woman in desperate need. The patient had given birth to premature twins in December 1881 and her condition had been steadily deteriorating. As a last resort, the risky procedure was attempted on 7 February 1882. The engraving from Paris, dated 1882, shows the intensity and focus of the medical team as they work to save the woman's life. By 13 February, just six days after the transfusion took place, she was already showing signs of improvement and on her way to recovery. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the incredible advancements made in medicine over the years, particularly in the field of blood transfusions. It also highlights the dedication and skill of Dr. Roussell and his team who were willing to take risks in order to save their patient's life. As we look back on this momentous event from more than a century ago, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of medical technology and knowledge. It is truly remarkable to see how one bold decision could make such a profound impact on someone's health and well-being.
