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
This stunning chromolithograph, titled "Fossil Skulls and Skeletons," is an exquisite example of the remarkable discoveries in the field of paleontology during the late 19th century. The image, part of Dr. Fr. Rolles' Geology and Paleontology section in Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert's Natural History, published by Schreiber in Munich in 1886, showcases an impressive array of fossil skulls and skeletons of various extinct animals. At the center of the composition, the skull of a man from the Furfoosa Cave in Italy is depicted, along with those of other intriguing creatures. Among them are the aurochs, or wild oxen, represented by both a large bull and a cow. The mighty cave bear, Ursus spelaeus, is also present, with its powerful jaw and sharp teeth. Additionally, the skeletons of the giants sloth, Megatherium cuvieri, and the woolly rhinoceros, Coelodonta antiquitatis, are displayed. The rhino, Rhinoceros stichorhinus, is represented by its skull, while the mineralogy section includes various minerals and geological specimens. The image also features the skulls of the extinct animals, such as the Bos primigenius, an ancestor of modern cattle, and the Rhinoceros unicornis, a rhinoceros with a single horn. This chromolithograph is a testament to the groundbreaking research and discoveries in the fields of geology, paleontology, and natural history during the late 19th century. Dr. Fr. Rolles, a renowned scholar and scientist, was a pioneer in the study of fossils, and his work was instrumental in advancing our understanding of the natural world. The Natural History publication by Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert, which includes this chromolithograph, was a significant contribution to the scientific community and remains an important historical document today.
