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 striking portrait of James Hutton (1726-1797) captures the Scottish scientist and geologist in the prime of his career. Painted by the renowned Scottish artist Henry Raeburn in the late 18th century, the portrait showcases Hutton's intellectual intensity and deep contemplation, reflecting his groundbreaking work in the field of geology. Born in Edinburgh, Hutton is considered the father of modern geology for his seminal work on the Earth's structure and geological processes. His Theory of the Earth with Proofs and Illustrations, published in 1795, challenged the prevailing views of his time by proposing that the Earth was not a creation of divine intervention but rather the product of natural processes. Hutton's theories, which included the concepts of uniformitarianism and the cyclical nature of geological processes, revolutionized the scientific understanding of the Earth and paved the way for modern geology. The intricately detailed portrait of Hutton, with its rich colors and lifelike features, offers a glimpse into the mind of a man who dared to challenge the established beliefs of his time. The portrait, along with Hutton's groundbreaking work, remains a testament to the power of scientific inquiry and the importance of questioning long-held assumptions. This historic illustration is a valuable addition to any collection focused on the history of science, geology, or Scottish culture. The portrait's high-resolution digital file, available through Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a clear and detailed view of this important figure in the annals of scientific discovery.
