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
1. Title: "Thomas Pennant, the Curious Traveler: A Naturalist's Journey through the British Isles" Thomas Pennant (1726-1798), an accomplished naturalist, author, and antiquary, is captured in this evocative portrait. Pennant's insatiable curiosity and passion for the natural world led him to travel extensively throughout the British Isles, documenting his observations with meticulous detail. Born on March 25, 1726, in Downingtown, Flintshire, Wales, Pennant was educated at the University of Cambridge before embarking on his explorations. His first major work, "A Tour in Scotland," published in 1771, showcased his keen interest in natural history, antiquities, and folklore. In this image, Pennant's inquisitive gaze and furrowed brow suggest a man deeply engaged in the pursuit of knowledge. The richly textured fabric of his coat and the intricate patterns of his waistcoat reflect the elegance and sophistication of the era. The background, adorned with books and scientific instruments, underscores Pennant's dedication to his scholarly pursuits. Pennant's later works, such as "A Tour in Wales," published in 1778, and "British Zoology," published in 1768-1771, further cemented his reputation as a leading figure in the scientific community. His contributions to the fields of natural history, antiquities, and folklore continue to influence scholars and enthusiasts alike. Thomas Pennant's legacy endures as a testament to the power of curiosity and the importance of documenting the natural world. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a man who, through his travels and writings, left an indelible mark on the history of the British Isles.
