31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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
1. Title: A Visionary Pioneer in Science: Sir Charles Wheatstone at Kings College, 1863 Sir Charles Wheatstone (1802-1875), an esteemed English scientist and inventor, is captured in this evocative photograph taken during his tenure as Professor of Experimental Philosophy at Kings College in London, in the year 1863. The image, a testament to the era's scientific curiosity and the burgeoning popularity of photography, offers a glimpse into the life of a man who made groundbreaking contributions to various fields, including optics, acoustics, and telegraphy. Wheatstone's innovative spirit is evident in his appearance. His intense gaze, framed by thick-rimmed glasses, suggests a mind deeply engaged in thought. The meticulously arranged laboratory setting behind him underscores his dedication to experimental research. The presence of a large telescope, a phonautograph, and various other scientific instruments speaks to his wide-ranging interests and accomplishments. Wheatstone's most notable inventions include the stereoscope, which revolutionized the way people perceived depth and three-dimensionality in images, and the concertina, an early form of the accordion. He also made significant advancements in the field of telegraphy, developing the first practical electric telegraph transmitter and refining the Morse code system. This photograph not only serves as a historical record of a brilliant scientist but also as a reminder of the transformative power of curiosity and innovation. Sir Charles Wheatstone's legacy continues to influence modern science and technology, inspiring generations of thinkers and inventors to push the boundaries of human knowledge.
