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 stunning print captures the intricate beauty of Whittaker Star Maps 5, including Leo Minor and Lynx constellations. Created in 1822, these historical maps provide a fascinating glimpse into our understanding of space and celestial phenomena during that time.
The detailed illustrations of stars and galaxies are not only visually captivating but also serve as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with the cosmos. Each star is carefully plotted, creating a mesmerizing tapestry that invites viewers to explore the wonders of the universe.
Leo Minor and Lynx, two lesser-known constellations featured in this map, add an element of mystery and intrigue to the overall composition. Their inclusion highlights the vastness of space and reminds us that there is still so much left to discover beyond our own familiar skies.
As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history, we are reminded of how far we have come in our understanding of the stars. Yet, at the same time, we are humbled by the realization that there is still so much more waiting to be uncovered in the depths of space.
