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 illustration by Michael Wilson depicts a reconstructed family of Homo heidelbergensis, also known as Rhodesian Man, based on fossils discovered at Broken Hill in Kabwe, Zambia. Homo heidelbergensis is a key transitional species in human evolution, believed to have lived approximately 130,000 years ago. The discovery of the Broken Hill hominid remains in 1921 was a significant find in anthropological history, providing valuable insights into the physical characteristics of our early human ancestors. Michael Wilson's illustration masterfully portrays a family unit of Homo heidelbergensis, offering a glimpse into their social structure and daily life. The figures are shown in various poses, suggesting interaction and communication. The intricate details in the illustration, from the textured skin to the expressive faces, bring the ancient beings to life, allowing us to connect with them on a deeper level. The discovery of the Broken Hill hominids and the subsequent study of Homo heidelbergensis has significantly expanded our understanding of human evolution, particularly in relation to the migration of early humans out of Africa and the emergence of Homo sapiens. This illustration serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with our ancient ancestors and the ongoing quest to uncover the mysteries of human history. Michael Wilson's illustration, created between 1914 and 1987, is a valuable addition to the anthropological record, offering a unique perspective on our early human ancestors and their way of life. The illustration is a reminder of the rich history that lies hidden in the earth, waiting to be uncovered and explored.
