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 handcolored lithograph showcases three extinct gastropods, or ancient shelled mollusks: Ammonites Parkinsoni, A. macrocephalus, and Serpula grandis. The image is taken from Dr. F.A. Schmidt's Petrefactenbuch, published in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1855 by Verlag von Krais & Hoffmann. Dr. Schmidt's Book of Petrification was a groundbreaking work that introduced both the specialist and general reader to the fascinating world of fossils and palaeontology. Ammonites, characterized by their distinctive spiral shells, are among the most well-known and beloved fossils. The Ammonite Parkinsoni, depicted here, is named after the English clergyman and amateur geologist, William Parkinson. A. macrocephalus, meaning "large headed," is also shown, with its large, rounded shell. The Serpula grandis, or "large Serpula," is identified by its large, coiled shell, reminiscent of a serpent. The intricate details of these fossils are beautifully rendered in this handcolored lithograph, providing a glimpse into the rich history of the earth and the diverse life forms that once inhabited it. The lithograph serves as a testament to the importance of scientific discovery and the enduring allure of the natural world.
