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 oil on canvas painting, titled "Scene in Wealden Times," by Eli Marsden Wilson (1877-1965), transports us back to the Cretaceous period in Great Britain. The scene is set in the Weald area of southeastern England, a region renowned for its rich fossil deposits. The painting depicts a fertile, brackish landscape, teeming with life during the daytime of the Cretaceous era. Archosauria, a group of ancient reptiles that includes dinosaurs and their ancestors, dominate the scene. In the foreground, a Diapsida, a subgroup of Archosauria, basks in the sunlight, its scaly skin glistening. This Diapsid, a member of the Dinosauria order, is likely a herbivore, its long neck reaching towards the foliage above. In the background, other Archosauriformes, early Archosaur ancestors, can be seen. Among them, a Diapsid with a more reptilian appearance, and an Archosauromorpha, an even more ancient relative, with a more primitive body structure. The painting's title, "Wealden Times," refers to the geological period, the Wealden, during which these ancient creatures thrived. Eli Marsden Wilson, a British painter, created this masterpiece before 1935. His meticulous attention to detail and understanding of the geological context make this painting a valuable historical document and an exquisite work of art. The original painting is held at the Natural History Museum in London, a testament to the rich natural history of Great Britain and the European continent during the Cretaceous period.
