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 portrait captures the essence of Thomas Henry Huxley, a renowned English biologist who lived from 1825 to 1895. Painted by John Collier in 1883, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases Huxley's intellectual prowess and scientific curiosity. In the painting, Huxley is depicted sitting at his desk, surrounded by a pile of books that symbolize his vast knowledge and dedication to learning. With an intense gaze and distinguished sideburns framing his face, he exudes confidence and authority as a scientist. Holding a book in one hand while resting the other on a skull, Huxley embodies the intersection between science and philosophy. This juxtaposition highlights his role as both a biologist studying life forms and an advocate for rational thinking in society. The fine details captured by Collier bring out the depth of character within Huxley's expression. The artist skillfully portrays not only the physical likeness but also hints at the profound ideas brewing within this brilliant mind. This portrait serves as a testament to Huxley's significant contributions to biology and his lasting impact on scientific thought. It stands as a reminder of his legacy as one of England's most influential scientists during the late 19th century.
