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 photograph showcases a replica cast of the cranium of Homo Heidelbergensis, also known as Rhodesian Man or Broken Hill Man. Discovered in June 1921 by Thomas Zwigelaar at the Broken Hill Mine in Kabwe, Zambia, this ancient fossil dates back approximately 130,000 years. Homo Heidelbergensis is a crucial transitional species in human evolution, belonging to the Homo genus and the Hominini tribe. This particular specimen is especially significant due to its well-preserved frontal bone, which provides valuable insights into the anatomy and cranial capacity of early Homo species. The original skull, now housed in the Rhodes Museum in South Africa, is one of the most complete and best-preserved Homo Heidelbergensis fossils ever found. This cast serves as a testament to the rich anthropological history of Africa and our ongoing fascination with the evolution of Homo sapiens. The intricate details of the cast reveal the subtle nuances of this ancient hominid's skull, offering a glimpse into the past and our shared human heritage. The discovery of Homo Heidelbergensis at Broken Hill Mine continues to inspire researchers and scholars, contributing to our ever-evolving understanding of human evolution and the complex story of our ancestors.
