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, titled "Fossil Fern, Nothosaurus Tooth and Vertebra," is an exquisite illustration from Dr. F.A. Schmidts Petrefactenbuch, published in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1855 by Verlag von Krais & Hoffmann. Dr. Schmidts Book of Petrification was a groundbreaking publication that introduced both the specialist and general reader to the fascinating world of fossils and palaeontology. The centerpiece of this illustration is a beautifully preserved fern frond, a testament to the ancient ecosystems that once thrived on Earth. Surrounding the fern are various fossilized remains from the Mesozoic Era, a time when dinosaurs ruled the land and sea. Among these fascinating finds are a Nothosaurus tooth and vertebra. Nothosaurus was a marine reptile that lived approximately 210 to 193 million years ago. Its elongated snout and paddle-like limbs were adapted for swimming in the shallow waters of the ancient seas. The tooth and vertebra provide valuable insights into the anatomy and diet of this enigmatic creature. Another intriguing fossil depicted in the lithograph is the Dracorex tooth. Although now considered a synonym of the Pterodactylus antiquus, the Dracorex tooth was once believed to belong to a dragon-like dinosaur. The tooth's unique serrations and size fueled the imagination of early palaeontologists and contributed to the popularization of dinosaurs in the public consciousness. Additionally, the illustration showcases various fish fossils, including the gyrolepis, psamodus, hybodus, saurichtys, and acrodus. These ancient fish species provide essential information about the marine environments that existed during the Mesozoic Era. The intricate handcoloring of this lithograph adds an extra layer of beauty and detail, making it a stunning example of the artistic and scientific achievements of the 19th century.
