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.

1. Title: A Journey Through the Perilous Past: Toxic Substances in Finland's Pharmacy Museum, Turku. Step back in time and delve into the intriguing world of historic toxic substances at the Pharmacy Museum in Turku, Finland. This evocative image transports us to a bygone era when the art of healing was intertwined with the risks of poison. The shelves are lined with an array of glass jars, pots, and bottles, each holding a potent and sometimes deadly substance. The Pharmacy Museum, nestled in the heart of Turku, is a testament to Finland's rich pharmaceutical history. Established in 1838, it is one of the oldest functioning pharmacies in Europe. This photograph offers a glimpse into the museum's extensive collection of toxic and poisonous substances, which were once an integral part of the pharmacist's apothecary. The intricately designed bottles and jars, with their ornate labels and stoppers, are a feast for the eyes. Some of these containers hold venoms from various animals, such as the deadly tarantula venom or the infamous Madagascar centipede poison. Others contain heavy metals like mercury and arsenic, which were once used in medicinal treatments. The history of toxic substances in pharmacy is a fascinating and often dangerous one. While some of these substances were used for medicinal purposes, others were used for more nefarious intentions. Poisonings were not uncommon in the past, and this museum serves as a reminder of the risks and challenges that early pharmacists faced in their quest to heal and protect their communities. This image invites us to explore the intriguing world of toxic substances and their role in the history of pharmacy. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of scientific advancements and the ongoing quest for safer and more effective medicines.
