23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 image, dated 1864, showcases a beautifully preserved Brosme brosme, also known as the Cusk, Torsk, Tusk, Brismak, Brosmius, or Moonfish. This yellow, elongated fish, with its large, protruding snout and delicate, translucent fins, was a common sight in the cold, deep waters of the North Atlantic during the Victorian era. The Brosme brosme is a fascinating species of the cod family, characterized by its unique appearance and intriguing adaptations. Its large, sensitive snout, or barbel, is used to detect prey in the dark depths of the ocean, while its long, slender body allows it to maneuver effortlessly in the water. This exquisite photograph, taken in the 1860s, offers a glimpse into the natural world of a bygone era. The intricate details of the fish's scales and fin rays are captured in stunning clarity, providing a window into the beauty and diversity of marine life during the Victorian age. The Brosme brosme holds a rich historical significance, as it was a popular subject for scientific exploration and artistic expression during the 19th century. This photograph serves as a testament to the fascination and appreciation for the natural world that characterized the Victorian era. As we admire this historic image, we are reminded of the importance of preserving and celebrating the natural world, both for its intrinsic value and for the knowledge and inspiration it provides. The Brosme brosme, with its unique features and captivating presence, continues to captivate and inspire us, offering a reminder of the wonders that lie beneath the waves.
