23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 evocative portrait of Charles Darwin, the renowned naturalist and originator of the theory of evolution through natural selection, was captured around the year 1880 at Down House, his beloved family home in Kent, England. The image beautifully encapsulates the wisdom and introspection that defined Darwin's later years. Down House, with its red-brick facade and sprawling gardens, served as the backdrop for Darwin's most productive period. Here, he wrote and published some of his most groundbreaking works, including "On the Origin of Species" and "The Descent of Man." The tranquil surroundings provided him with the solace and inspiration he needed to further develop his revolutionary ideas. Darwin's expression in the photograph conveys a sense of deep thought and contemplation, reflecting the profound impact his discoveries had on the scientific world and beyond. His piercing gaze and furrowed brow suggest the immense intellectual effort required to challenge established beliefs and reshape the way we understand the natural world. As a testament to his enduring legacy, Down House is now preserved by Historic England and open to the public as a museum dedicated to Darwin's life and work. This portrait serves as a poignant reminder of the remarkable mind and groundbreaking discoveries that once called this humble abode home.
