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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of scientific and artistic history - the 1731 Johann Scheuchzer telescopes. Featured in the renowned Physica Sacra (Sacred Physics) by Johann Scheuchzer, these Keplerian telescopes were meticulously drawn by a team of skilled engravers under the guidance of Johann Andreas Pfeffel. Scheuchzer's ambitious project aimed to intertwine contemporary science with biblical narratives through a sequence of 745 plates. In this particular image, astronomy takes center stage as it unveils the magnificence of God's creation. The refracting telescope, popularized by luminaries like Galileo and Kepler during the 17th century, becomes an instrument to explore both physical and spiritual realms. The intricate details captured in this artwork transport us back to the 18th century when science and religion often coexisted harmoniously. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring curiosity about our origins and place in the universe. By combining artistry with scientific inquiry, Scheuchzer sought to shed light on the divine aspects of nature itself. Paul D. Stewart has expertly preserved this historical gem through his lens, allowing us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its significance within the context of science and religion. This print is more than just an illustration; it is a window into an era where knowledge was pursued passionately in pursuit of understanding both earthly phenomena and heavenly wonders.
