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 Constellations (Plate XXVII) Hydra Continua, Crater, Covus, Centaurus et Lupus" from the renowned celestial atlas by Alexander Jamieson. Published in London in 1822, this hand-coloured engraving represents a remarkable piece of astrological and astronomical history. Intricately detailed and beautifully coloured, the illustration depicts various constellations including Hydra Continua, Crater, Covus, Centaurus et Lupus. Each constellation is meticulously outlined against a backdrop of stars and zodiac signs. This historical map offers a glimpse into the celestial world as perceived during the 19th century. The inclusion of mythical creatures such as centaurs adds an element of enchantment to this astrological chart. The Bull Pricker symbolizes strength and determination while representing Taurus within the zodiacal framework. Meanwhile, Hydra Continua extends its serpentine form across multiple constellations. Alexander Jamieson's Celestial Atlas remains an invaluable resource for astronomers and astrology enthusiasts alike. Its enduring significance lies not only in its scientific accuracy but also in its artistic representation of our cosmic surroundings. This print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate both the scientific and aesthetic qualities of Jamieson's work.
