FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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.

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
Million years ago, in the heart of Africa, the first steps towards human evolution were being taken. This fascinating fossil is a fragment of the lower jaw of Australopithecus anamensis, a hominid species discovered in the Pliocene period at the site of Kanapoi in Kenya. The Australopithecus anamensis is considered a crucial link between the apes and humans, as it displays both ape-like and human-like features. This detailed print of the jaw, now housed in the Natural History Museum in London, United Kingdom, offers a glimpse into the prehistoric world of our earliest human ancestors. The jaw bone, with its distinct teeth, provides vital clues about the diet and feeding habits of this species. The teeth, some of which are still attached, exhibit a combination of sharp incisors and flat molars, suggesting an omnivorous diet. The discovery of Australopithecus anamensis in the late 1990s marked a significant milestone in the field of paleontology, as it provided evidence that the African continent was the cradle of human evolution. This jaw fragment, with its intricate details, is a testament to the rich history and prehistory of humanity. The Australopithecus anamensis species is also known as Praeanthropus anamensis, and it is believed to have existed around 4.2 to 3.9 million years ago. This jaw fragment, a precious piece of prehistory, serves as a reminder of the incredible journey of evolution that led to the emergence of modern humans. The Natural History Museum in London, with its vast collection of fossils and historical artifacts, is a treasure trove of knowledge and discovery. This print of the Australopithecus anamensis jaw bone is just one of the many fascinating exhibits that attract visitors from all corners of the world, offering a glimpse into the wonders of the natural world and the fascinating story of human evolution.
