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 titled "The tail stars of 1742 and 1744" takes us back to a time when the wonders of the night sky were observed with awe and curiosity. Created by renowned print maker Jan de Groot between 1744 and 1745, this piece showcases his meticulous attention to detail. In this scene, we find ourselves on a tranquil farm under the vast expanse of the night sky. The lower half of the image is dominated by a picturesque landscape, while above it, celestial bodies come alive in all their glory. Two comets from different years, 1742 and 1744, take center stage with their radiant tails stretching across the heavens. To capture these celestial phenomena accurately, de Groot utilized his knowledge as an astronomer. He depicts smaller stars scattered throughout the sky using precise strokes that mirror their brilliance as seen through a telescope like Newton's Observatory in Leiden. This particular moment frozen in time occurred on February 16th during De Groot's observation period. His dedication to capturing such astronomical events shines through in every brushstroke. "The tail stars of 1742 and 1744" serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with our place within the cosmos. Quint Lox has skillfully preserved this historical masterpiece from Liszt Collection for generations to appreciate its beauty and marvel at our ever-expanding understanding of our universe.
