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.

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
In this photograph, a young Charles Darwin is seen in the embrace of his mother's love and wonder as she shows him the intricacies of a delicate flower. The image, taken in 1912, transports us back to a time when the future naturalist's curiosity was first ignited. Charles Darwin, born on February 12, 1809, in Shrewsbury, England, was the fifth of six children in the Darwin family. His upbringing was filled with the beauty of nature, as his father, a wealthy physician, owned an estate with a large garden where young Charles spent much of his time. However, it was his mother, Susannah Wedgwood Darwin, who instilled in him a deep appreciation for the natural world. The photograph captures a tender moment between mother and child, as Susannah points to the intricacies of the flower's petals, likely fueling Darwin's fascination with the natural world. This early exposure to the wonders of nature would later shape his groundbreaking theories on evolution and the interconnectedness of all living organisms. As Darwin grew older, his passion for understanding the natural world only intensified. He went on to study at the University of Edinburgh and the University of Cambridge, where he was exposed to the works of influential naturalists such as Charles Lyell and Jean-Baptiste Lamarck. However, it was the five-year voyage of the HMS Beagle, which began in 1831, that truly solidified his place in scientific history. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of early experiences in shaping one's future. The love and curiosity nurtured in Darwin's childhood garden would blossom into a lifetime of groundbreaking discoveries and contributions to the scientific community.
