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.

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 Josiah Wedgwood, painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds in the late 18th century, offers a glimpse into the life of an influential figure in both the world of art and science. Wedgwood, born in 1730, was the maternal grandfather of Charles Darwin, the renowned naturalist whose groundbreaking theories on evolution would forever change our understanding of the natural world. The portrait, now held by the Darwin Heirlooms Trust, depicts Wedgwood in a thoughtful and introspective pose, with a serious expression and piercing gaze. The setting, Down House in Kent, adds to the sense of quiet reflection, as it was the family home where Darwin spent much of his childhood and formulated many of his ideas. Josiah Wedgwood was a leading figure in the English pottery industry, founding the famous Wedgwood & Sons company in 1759. However, this portrait, created around 1780, predates the commercial success of his business. Instead, it captures Wedgwood as a man of intellect and refinement, a patron of the arts, and a devoted family man. Sir Joshua Reynolds, the renowned painter and founding president of the Royal Academy, expertly captured the essence of Wedgwood's character in this portrait. Reynolds' masterful use of light and shadow, combined with his skillful depiction of texture and form, create a striking and enduring image of a man who left an indelible mark on both the art world and the history of science.
