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 stunning chalk and water-colour drawing by George Richmond, titled "Charles Darwin," captures the renowned naturalist and scientist in his study at Down House in Kent, England. The image dates back to 1840, a pivotal period in Darwin's life when he was developing his groundbreaking theories on evolution. Down House, where Darwin lived with his family from 1842 until his death in 1882, was not only his home but also the place where he wrote some of his most influential works, including "On the Origin of Species." The serene and thoughtful expression on Darwin's face in this portrait reflects the deep concentration and intellectual curiosity that drove his revolutionary discoveries. Richmond's masterful use of chalk and water-colour techniques brings the room to life, with intricate details of the books, scientific instruments, and personal belongings that filled Darwin's study. The natural light streaming in from the window adds a sense of warmth and intimacy, making this drawing a captivating window into the world of one of history's greatest minds. As a Victorian-era painting, this artwork reflects the cultural and artistic sensibilities of the time, which placed a high value on scientific discovery and intellectual pursuits. The Darwin Heirlooms Trust, which holds this piece in its collection, preserves and shares the legacy of Charles Darwin and his contributions to the scientific world. This drawing is not only a beautiful work of art but also an essential historical document, offering a glimpse into the life and mind of a man who forever changed our understanding of the natural world.
