23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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 photograph, taken in July 1892, showcases the Geological Gallery of the Natural History Museum in London during the Victorian era. The gallery, housed in the iconic Waterhouse Building, was a marvel of architectural design and a testament to the scientific advancements of the 19th century. At the forefront of the gallery, an American mastodon, a prehistoric mammal belonging to the order Proboscidea and the family Mammutidae, takes center stage. Known scientifically as Mammut americanum, this extinct mammal is an epitherian, a placental mammal, and a member of the subclass Theria. The mastodon, with its massive size and distinctive tusks, was a common sight in Ice Age fossil deposits across the Americas. The Natural History Museum's Geological Gallery, with its impressive collection of fossils and geological specimens, was a popular destination for scientists, scholars, and the general public alike. The gallery's interior, filled with intricate displays and meticulously curated exhibits, offered visitors a glimpse into the natural world's deep past. This photograph, with its rich historical context and scientific significance, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the wonders of the natural world were just beginning to be unlocked. The American mastodon, a symbol of the museum's commitment to preserving and showcasing the natural world's most fascinating specimens, stands as a reminder of the important role that museums play in fostering curiosity, knowledge, and appreciation for the natural world.
