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 print depicts Guillaume Rondelet (1507-1566), a renowned French naturalist and physician of the 16th century. Rondelet's long, wavy beard and serious expression convey a sense of wisdom and knowledge, reflecting his extensive contributions to the fields of natural history and medicine. Born in Perigueux, France, Rondelet studied medicine at the University of Montpellier and later became a professor of anatomy and botany. He is best known for his seminal work, "Libellus de aquatilibus," published in 1554, which was one of the most comprehensive works on marine biology of its time. The book contained detailed descriptions and illustrations of over 1,000 marine species, many of which were previously unknown to Europeans. Rondelet's work was groundbreaking in its accuracy and detail, and it influenced many subsequent naturalists and scientists, including Aristotle Torquatus Fuenlechner and Conrad Gesner. Rondelet's contributions to the study of marine biology were particularly significant, as Europe was undergoing a period of exploration and discovery, and knowledge of the marine world was essential for navigators and sailors. Despite his many accomplishments, Rondelet's life was marked by tragedy. He lost his wife and several children at a young age, and he was eventually forced to flee France due to religious persecution. He spent the last years of his life in exile in Italy, where he continued to write and study. This print serves as a reminder of Rondelet's enduring legacy as a pioneering naturalist and physician, whose work laid the foundation for future discoveries and advancements in the fields of marine biology and medicine.
