23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 fascinating historical print captures a groundbreaking invention by Mr. Herbert A. Silver in 1921, which revolutionized medical education. The image shows an operation being screened live in a medical lecture theatre, allowing students to watch surgery from the comfort of their seats.
Mr. Silver's innovative creation involved suspending a circle of electric lamps over the operating table and projecting the surgical procedure onto a translucent screen using a series of lenses. This enabled medical students to witness surgeries up close and personal, without having to be physically present in the operating room.
The importance of this invention cannot be overstated, as it provided invaluable learning opportunities for future doctors and surgeons. By bringing real-life surgeries into the lecture theatre, Mr. Silver's device not only enhanced medical education but also paved the way for advancements in surgical techniques and practices.

Silver's invention continues to resonate today, serving as a testament to the power of innovation in advancing healthcare practices for generations to come.
