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.

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 woodcut print, titled "URANIA, 1502" showcases the muse of astronomy herself, Urania. Created by the renowned German artist Albrecht Durer during the early Renaissance period, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of ancient Greek mythology and symbolism. In this image, Urania stands proudly as she holds an armillary sphere adorned with the zodiac signs. Her flowing hair cascades down her back while her nude figure exudes grace and elegance. The intricate details in Durer's woodcut technique bring out every curve and contour of her body. Urania personifies not only astronomy but also serves as a symbol for knowledge and inspiration. As one of the nine muses in Greek mythology, she represents divine wisdom and celestial beauty. By holding the armillary sphere, which was used to study celestial movements according to Ptolemaic principles at that time, Urania signifies mankind's eternal fascination with stars and planets. The fusion of artistry and science is evident in this allegorical masterpiece. It reminds us of our ancestors' quest for understanding the universe through both observation and imagination. This print serves as a timeless reminder that even in ancient times, humans sought to unravel nature's mysteries through artistic expression.
