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 oil painting depicts James MacAdam (1801-1861), an Irish-born geologist and mineralogist, in his later years. The portrait was painted by the renowned English artist, Richard Hooke (1820-1908). MacAdam is shown wearing a formal attire, with a serious expression on his face, reflecting the intensity and focus that characterized his scientific pursuits. Born in County Down, Northern Ireland, MacAdam received his education in Dublin and later in London, where he became a fellow of the Geological Society. He is best known for his work on the classification of minerals, particularly for his development of the MacAdam Intaglio process for the microscopic examination of minerals. This innovative technique involved pressing mineral powders onto a glass plate, creating a three-dimensional image that could be studied under a microscope. MacAdam's contributions to the field of mineralogy were significant, and he was a prolific writer and researcher. He published numerous papers and books, including "A System of Mineralogy," which was widely used as a textbook in universities around the world. MacAdam was also an accomplished lecturer and delivered many public lectures on geology and mineralogy, further disseminating his knowledge and expertise. This portrait by Hooke captures the essence of MacAdam's intellectual and scientific prowess, and serves as a testament to his enduring legacy in the field of mineralogy. The painting's rich colors and intricate details bring MacAdam's character to life, making it a valuable addition to any collection of scientific portraits or mineralogy-themed art.
