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 photograph, K970334 from the Historic England Photo Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to the study of Charles Darwin at Down House in Kent, England. The spine of Darwin's seminal work, "On the Origin of Species," is prominently displayed, its worn edges and faded cover a testament to the countless hours of contemplation and discovery that unfolded within these walls. The Victorian era, a time of great scientific advancement and exploration, is brought to life through this image. The era's distinctive aesthetic is reflected in the ornate decor of the room, with its patterned wallpaper, intricately carved woodwork, and the soft glow of natural light filtering through the curtains. The significance of this photograph extends beyond the visual, as it serves as a powerful reminder of the intellectual revolution that Darwin's theories ignited. "On the Origin of Species," published in 1859, challenged the prevailing beliefs of the time and forever changed the way we understand the natural world. Darwin's groundbreaking work laid the foundation for the science of evolution and continues to influence fields as diverse as biology, anthropology, and genetics. As we gaze upon this image, we are invited to reflect on the profound impact that one man's curiosity and determination had on the course of human knowledge. The worn pages of "On the Origin of Species" stand as a testament to the enduring power of ideas and the limitless potential of the human mind.
