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
1. Title: "George Edwards: A Naturalist Ahead of His Time" George Edwards (1693-1773), an English naturalist and member of the esteemed Royal Society, is depicted in this evocative portrait. Born in London, Edwards dedicated his life to the study of natural history, making significant contributions to the fields of ornithology and entomology. The image captures Edwards in the prime of his life, with a serious yet thoughtful expression, indicative of his deep commitment to scientific discovery. Edwards' meticulous attention to detail is evident in his hands, which are poised to examine a specimen, likely a rare bird or insect. The backdrop of his study, adorned with various natural history curiosities, further underscores his passion for the natural world. Edwards' membership in the Royal Society, an organization founded for the advancement of science, underscores his status as a respected and influential figure in the scientific community. He was elected a fellow in 1725, and his work was regularly published in the Society's prestigious Philosophical Transactions. One of Edwards' most notable achievements was his publication of "A Natural History of Uncommon Birds," which showcased over 100 species of birds not previously described in Europe. His detailed illustrations, produced by skilled engravers, were considered some of the most accurate and beautiful of the time. Edwards' legacy extended beyond his publications, as he also played a crucial role in the development of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, which became a leading center for natural history research. His dedication to the pursuit of knowledge and his commitment to documenting the natural world continue to inspire generations of scientists and naturalists. This portrait, a testament to George Edwards' enduring impact on the field of natural history, offers a glimpse into the life of a man whose curiosity and passion for the natural world shaped the scientific landscape of his time.
