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 print, titled "Animalcules, or, Figures of the Most Beautiful and Curious Animals Existing in a Drop of Sea-Water, Observed with a Microscope," was created by the renowned English naturalist and illustrator, Henry Sibly, in 1794. The image showcases an exquisite collection of various forms of microscopic marine life, revealing a hidden world teeming with beauty and complexity. Sibly, a pioneer in the field of marine microscopy, meticulously observed and documented these tiny organisms, which he referred to as "animalcules." His illustrations were groundbreaking in their accuracy and detail, providing valuable insights into the unseen inhabitants of the ocean. The print features an array of intriguing marine organisms, including diatoms, foraminifera, radiolarians, and other planktonic creatures. Diatoms, the silica-shelled algae, are depicted in various shapes and sizes, their delicate beauty contrasting with the intricate structures of the foraminifera and radiolarians. These organisms play crucial roles in the marine food chain and the cycling of nutrients in the ocean. Sibly's work was not only significant for its scientific merit but also for its aesthetic appeal. The print's vibrant colors and detailed illustrations captivated the public, inspiring curiosity and wonder about the natural world. This image serves as a testament to Sibly's dedication to documenting the wonders of the microscopic marine life, forever changing our perception of the ocean and its inhabitants.
