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 print captures the essence of Dr James Clark, a remarkable figure in the field of natural history. Taken around 1920 during his tenure as Rector at Kilmarnock Academy in Scotland, this portrait showcases a man whose intellect and passion for education shine through. Dr Clark's distinguished appearance is accentuated by his spectacles and neatly trimmed beard, reflecting both wisdom and authority. As Principal of Central Technical Schools for Cornwall from 1899 to 1908, he made significant contributions to the scientific community. His extensive writings include numerous papers for the Journal of the Royal Institution of Cornwall, where he shared his knowledge on various subjects. Beyond academia, Dr Clark's love for nature led him to publish "The Birds of Cornwall" in 1902 under the auspices of the Royal Institution of Cornwall. Additionally, he played an instrumental role in compiling zoological sections for Volume I of the Victoria County History of Cornwall published in 1906. While this photograph was taken by an unknown photographer, it beautifully encapsulates Dr James Clark's legacy as a respected professor and historian. His impact on education extended far beyond Scotland; even during his short time spent in Cornwall, he left an indelible mark that continues to inspire generations today.
