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
In this studio shot, the fossilized remains of a Silurian Eurypterus take center stage. Hailing from New York State, this ancient arthropod measures a modest 12 cm in length, but its size pales in comparison to the grandeur of its status as the largest arthropod known to have inhabited our planet. Belonging to the Eurypterida order, Eurypterus is a fascinating representative of the Chelicerata class, a group that also includes modern-day arachnids and xenophyophores. Eurypterus, often referred to as sea scorpions or water scorpions, were merostomatans, a subgroup of chelicerates characterized by their elongated, paddle-like limbs. These appendages, conspicuously present in our specimen, were used for propulsion as Eurypterus navigated the ancient seas during the Paleozoic Era. The Silurian period, marked by the deposition of the Silurian System, spanned from approximately 443 to 416 million years ago. This period saw the rise of complex multicellular organisms and the development of diverse ecosystems. Eurypterus, as a prehistoric inhabitant of these early marine environments, offers a glimpse into the rich history of life on Earth. As we marvel at this ancient creature, it's hard not to be humbled by the passage of time and the incredible diversity of life that has graced our planet. This studioshot, captured from Mary Evans Prints Online, serves as a poignant reminder of the fascinating stories hidden within the pages of Earth's geological record.
