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
John George Wood (1827-1889): A Visionary Churchman and Prolific Writer on Natural History This evocative portrait captures the intellectual and spiritual depth of Reverend John George Wood (1827-1889), an English clergyman and prolific writer on natural history. With a keen interest in the natural world, Wood combined his love for science and faith throughout his life. Born in London, Wood was ordained in the Church of England in 1853 and served as a curate in various parishes. Simultaneously, he began writing articles on natural history for various publications, including "The Field," "The Ibis," and "The Natural History Review." His first book, "A History of British Insects," was published in 1862, and he went on to write over 200 more works on various aspects of natural history. Wood's unique perspective on the intersection of science and religion set him apart from his contemporaries. He believed that the study of nature was a means to understand the divine, and his writings often explored the connections between the natural world and spiritual truths. In his book "The Natural History of the Bible," he used biblical references to illustrate various natural phenomena and concepts. Despite his busy writing schedule, Wood remained dedicated to his parishioners and his faith. He was known for his pastoral care and his ability to connect with people from all walks of life. His sermons were filled with natural history references, making complex scientific concepts accessible to his congregation. This photograph, taken in the late 19th century, captures the essence of John George Wood - a man of deep faith and boundless curiosity, who dedicated his life to exploring the wonders of the natural world and sharing his discoveries with others.
