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
Malvina Hoffman: A Pioneering American Sculptor and Her Anthropological Masterpiece for the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago Malvina Hoffman (1887-1966), an American sculptor born in New York, left an indelible mark on the art world with her groundbreaking anthropological sculptures. Studying under the renowned French sculptor Auguste Rodin, Hoffman's unique artistic vision was shaped by her deep interest in human diversity and the desire to capture the essence of various racial types. This double-page spread from The Illustrated London News showcases Hoffman's extraordinary body of work, which was commissioned by the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. The sculptures, collectively known as the "Hall of Man," were created between 1933 and 1938 and represent an impressive range of anthropological types from living races around the world. The captivating photographs and accompanying editorial in this spread offer a glimpse into the creative process behind these masterpieces. Hoffman's meticulous attention to detail and her ability to convey the unique characteristics of each racial type have been praised by critics and scholars alike. One of Hoffman's most notable works outside of the United States can be found in London: the group on Bush House in Kingsway, dedicated to the friendship of English-speaking peoples. However, her most significant contribution remains the "Hall of Man" at the Field Museum, which continues to inspire awe and fascination among visitors. As we admire these stunning images, we are reminded of Hoffman's pioneering role in the fields of anthropology and sculpture. Her work not only captured the essence of human diversity but also challenged societal norms and broadened the scope of artistic expression. The "Hall of Man" stands as a testament to Hoffman's unwavering commitment to understanding and celebrating the rich tapestry of human history.
