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
1. Title: "John Russell Hind: The Indefatigable Planet Hunter in Mr. Bishop's Observatory, Regent's Park, London" John Russell Hind (1823-1895), an esteemed English astronomer, is captured in this evocative photograph as he diligently works in Mr. Bishop's Observatory, situated in the heart of Regent's Park, London. The year is undetermined, but this image encapsulates the spirit of discovery and innovation that defined Hind's illustrious career. Born in 1823, Hind's passion for astronomy was ignited at an early age. He would go on to make significant contributions to the field, most notably as an indefatigable discoverer of planets. His first major discovery came in 1852 when he identified Vesta II, a moon of the asteroid Vesta. However, his most famous discovery was that of Neptune's moon, Triton, in 1846. This groundbreaking find came just months after Urbain Le Verrier had predicted Neptune's existence based on irregularities in Uranus' orbit. Hind's work in Mr. Bishop's Observatory was pivotal in his astronomical pursuits. The observatory, a hub of scientific exploration, provided him with the tools and resources necessary to make his discoveries. With unwavering determination and a keen eye for detail, Hind dedicated countless hours to observing the night sky, forever expanding our understanding of the solar system. This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable man who, despite facing numerous challenges and setbacks, remained committed to his quest for knowledge. John Russell Hind's legacy continues to inspire generations of astronomers and scientists, a testament to the enduring power of human curiosity and perseverance.
