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 19th century print depicts the biblical scene of Elijah's Burnt Offering as described in 1 Kings, Chapter 18. The prophet Elijah, a central figure in Jewish and Christian history, stands before an altar on Mount Carmel, challenging the people of Israel to choose between the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the Baal, the god of the Canaanites. The illustration portrays a tense atmosphere, with the prophets of Baal gathered around their altar, frantically calling on their god to consume their sacrifice. In contrast, Elijah, with unwavering faith, prepares his altar, offering a single bull as a sacrifice to God. The scene is set against a backdrop of rugged mountains and a clear, blue sky, emphasizing the stark contrast between the two faiths. The moment of truth arrives as Elijah prays for God to send fire to consume the sacrifice. The heavens answer with a mighty display of divine power, consuming not only the bull but also the stones of the altar and the water in the trench surrounding it. The people of Israel, witnessing this miraculous event, fall to their knees and declare their faith in the God of Israel. This powerful and evocative print, with its intricate details and rich symbolism, offers a glimpse into the history and stories of the Bible, transporting us back to a time when faith and miracles shaped the lives of God's people.
