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.

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 striking image captures the frontispiece of Charles Darwin's personal copy of Karl Marx's seminal work, "Das Kapital" (Volume 1), now held in the collections of Historic England. The photograph, taken at Down House in Kent, where Darwin lived and wrote some of his most influential works, offers a unique glimpse into the intellectual connections between two of history's most influential thinkers. Darwin, renowned for his groundbreaking theories in biology, and Marx, the father of modern communism, may at first seem an unlikely pair. However, their ideas intersected in intriguing ways. Both men were deeply concerned with the natural world and the forces that shaped it, be it the evolution of species or the evolution of societies. Marx inscribed this copy of "Das Kapital" to Darwin on December 15, 1883, expressing his admiration for Darwin's work and acknowledging the influence it had on his own ideas. The inscription reads, "To Charles Darwin Esq. / With the homage of the most profound respect and admiration / K. Marx." This precious artifact not only highlights the intellectual exchange between these two giants of thought but also underscores the enduring relevance of their ideas. The interconnectedness of science, politics, and social theory continues to shape our understanding of the world around us and the societies we build. Down House, with its rich history and connections to influential figures like Darwin and Marx, stands as a testament to the power of ideas and the enduring impact they can have on future generations. This photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our historical and intellectual heritage for future study and inspiration.
