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
1. Title: A Peek Beneath the Surface: A 19th-Century Vision of Earth's Solid Crust (Cross-section of the Solid Crust of Planet Earth, 1879) 2. Description: This image, dated 1879, offers a fascinating glimpse into the scientific understanding of our planet during the late 19th century. The print, titled "Cross-section of the Solid Crust of Planet Earth," presents a detailed representation of Earth's solid crust as it was then perceived. 3. Context: At the time this image was created, the scientific community's knowledge of the Earth's interior was limited. The theory of plate tectonics, which describes the large-scale movements of Earth's crust, had not yet been proposed. Consequently, scientists believed that the Earth's crust was a single, solid mass. 4. Composition: The print features a cross-section of the Earth's solid crust, revealing various geological formations and structures. The image is divided into several distinct layers, each representing a different type of rock. These layers include the upper crust, the lower crust, and the mantle. 5. Natural Phenomena: The print also illustrates several natural phenomena, such as volcanic activity and earthquakes. Volcanoes are depicted as vertical fissures, while earthquakes are represented as horizontal lines. These features were believed to be the result of the Earth's internal heat and pressure. 6. Significance: This 1879 print serves as a testament to the evolving understanding of our planet's geology. It provides a glimpse into the scientific thought of the time and demonstrates the progression of knowledge in the field of Earth sciences. 7. Conclusion: The "Cross-section of the Solid Crust of Planet Earth" print is a captivating reminder of the rich history of scientific exploration and discovery. It offers a unique perspective on the Earth's solid crust as it was understood in the late 19th century and serves as a reminder of the ever-evolving nature of scientific knowledge.
