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 print showcases the cherished Darwin family bible, a treasured artifact that offers an intimate glimpse into the personal life of one of history's most influential figures. Open at the inside front cover, this sacred book holds within its pages a profound record meticulously maintained by Charles Darwin himself. Here, he carefully documented the births, illnesses, and heartbreaking deaths of his beloved children. The image transports us to Down House in Downe, Kent - a place where scientific brilliance merged seamlessly with familial love and devotion. As we peer into this snapshot frozen in time by Jonathan Bailey's lens, we are reminded that behind every great mind lies a tender heart. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst groundbreaking discoveries and revolutionary theories, Charles Darwin was first and foremost a devoted father who experienced both joyous moments and unimaginable sorrow. The delicate script inscribed on these pages tells stories of hope and despair, resilience and vulnerability. Through this visual window into history provided by Historic England's collection, we gain insight not only into Darwin's scientific legacy but also his humanity. This humble family bible becomes more than just an artifact; it becomes a testament to the enduring power of love amidst life's triumphs and tribulations. Jonathan Bailey has skillfully captured not just an object but also the essence of what it means to be part of something greater than oneself – to be connected through generations by shared experiences etched onto fragile paper.
