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 the remarkable collaboration between Scottish missionary Robert Morrison and his Chinese assistants as they diligently work on translating the Bible into Chinese. Created in 1846, this stipple engraving is a faithful reproduction of an original painting by George Chinnery. Robert Morrison, known for his tireless efforts to spread Christianity in China during the early 19th century, is depicted here surrounded by his dedicated team of translators. The image captures their intense focus and dedication to their monumental task. Each individual plays a crucial role in ensuring that the sacred text is accurately translated into Chinese, bridging cultural gaps and making it accessible to a wider audience. The composition exudes a sense of unity and shared purpose as these men come together across different backgrounds and nationalities for a common cause. It serves as a powerful testament to the power of collaboration and mutual respect despite differences. This print from The Granger Collection not only commemorates Robert Morrison's significant contribution but also pays homage to all those who have dedicated themselves to spreading knowledge, understanding, and faith throughout history.
