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 chromolithograph, titled "Precious Stones and Crystals" is an exquisite visual representation of the mineralogical wonders of the natural world, as depicted in Dr. Adolph Kenngott's Mineralogy section of Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert's Natural History publication. The intricately detailed illustration showcases an array of precious stones and crystals, including quartz in its various forms such as iron quartz, rose quartz, smoky quartz, and milky quartz. The ethereal beauty of amethyst quartz is also highlighted, its deep purple hue a striking contrast to the transparent clarity of rock crystal. Other minerals featured in this illustration are heliotrope, jasper, chalcedony, and moss agate. Each mineral is rendered with meticulous accuracy, their unique characteristics vividly brought to life through the artful use of color and shading. The intricate patterns and textures of the minerals are beautifully captured, inviting the viewer to explore the hidden treasures of the earth. This historical chromolithograph, published in Munich in 1886, is a testament to the fascination and wonder that precious stones and crystals have held throughout history. The illustration serves as a reminder of the rich history of mineralogy and geology, and the continued importance of scientific exploration and discovery. The Precious Stones and Crystals chromolithograph is not only a visual feast for the eyes but also a window into the natural world, inviting us to marvel at the beauty and complexity of the minerals that lie beneath our feet.
