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 from Granger Art on Demand showcases a woodcut titled "PHYSIOGNOMY, 1658. Forehead of a man destined to die a violent death". Created in 1658 by Hieronymous Cardanus, this intriguing piece is part of his renowned work called Metoposcopia. The image focuses solely on the forehead of a man, revealing intricate details that hint at his ominous fate. The lines and contours etched into the woodcut convey an air of foreboding, as if destiny has left its mark upon this individual's face. It is said that those who possess such distinctive features are bound to meet their end through violence. Cardanus was known for his expertise in physiognomy – the study of facial features and their relation to character traits or destinies. This particular woodcut serves as a testament to his deep understanding and interpretation of human faces. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking artwork, we cannot help but wonder about the life led by this mysterious man. What events have shaped him? What circumstances surround his impending doom? The artist leaves us with more questions than answers, inviting us to contemplate the fragility and unpredictability of our own existence. This print captures not only an exquisite piece of art but also invites us to reflect on themes such as mortality, destiny, and violence – timeless subjects that continue to captivate humanity throughout history.
