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 evocative photograph captures a group of young, determined female students at the Faculty of Medicine in Paris as they engage in a profound and introspective anatomical dissection in the late 19th century. Circa 1880, the students are deeply focused on their work, their expressions reflecting a combination of concentration, curiosity, and perhaps a hint of apprehension. The setting is the historic halls of the Faculty of Medicine, where the air is thick with the scent of disinfectant and the weight of history. The students, dressed in their white lab coats and aprons, are carefully examining the human body laid out before them on the dissection table. They are armed with the tools of their trade - scalpels, forceps, and other surgical instruments - as they delve into the intricacies of human anatomy. The corpse, preserved and respectfully treated, is a vital part of their education, providing them with a firsthand understanding of the complex systems that make up the human body. This photograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in the history of medical education. Women, who were previously barred from pursuing medical studies, were now gaining access to the same knowledge and opportunities as their male counterparts. The image serves as a testament to their courage and perseverance, as they challenged societal norms and paved the way for future generations of female medical professionals. The photograph, with its intriguing blend of historical significance, academic rigor, and the raw reality of human anatomy, is a powerful reminder of the transformative power of education and the enduring human curiosity that drives us to explore the mysteries of our own bodies.
