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 print captures the frontispiece for Opere di Galileo Galilei, created by Stefano della Bella in 1656. The image showcases Galileo, the renowned Italian astronomer, alongside personifications of Astronomy, Perspective, and Mathematics. In this allegorical representation of the 17th century scientific world, Galileo is depicted gesturing towards the sky while holding a telescope, symbolizing his groundbreaking contributions to astronomy. Surrounded by celestial bodies and planets within the solar system, this intricate etching highlights the fusion of science and art during that era. The design incorporates elements such as coats of arms and decorative details that reflect both heraldic tradition and graphic design aesthetics. The presence of female figures among male astronomers suggests inclusivity in scientific pursuits during a time when women's contributions were often overlooked. This artwork also pays homage to Galileo's patronage under the Medici family, showcasing Italy's rich heritage in science and intellectual exploration. Displayed at The Met museum as part of their collection on heritage art from various countries, this print serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge through observation and experimentation. It encapsulates an important period in history when scientists like Galileo challenged prevailing beliefs about our place in the universe with their revolutionary discoveries.
