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 print showcases a Phrenological model of personality traits, dating back to the late 19th century. Hand-colored and intricately detailed, this woodcut illustration provides a glimpse into the fascinating world of phrenology - a pseudo-science that attempted to map out the locations of various organs of the mind within the human head. As we delve into this vintage piece, we are transported back in time to an era where traditional beliefs intertwined with scientific exploration. The delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors bring life to each intricate detail, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. Phrenology, though now considered an outdated concept in modern psychology, sheds light on how our ancestors sought to understand human behavior and mentality. This illustration serves as a visual representation of their attempts at unraveling the complexities of personality by examining specific regions within the brain. Through this thought-provoking image, we are reminded of North America's rich history in behavioral science. It is a testament to American curiosity and innovation during the 1800s when theories such as phrenology were explored with great enthusiasm. Let this remarkable artwork transport you back in time as you ponder upon the intersection between artistry and scientific inquiry that defined an entire era.
