FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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.

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 the intricate artwork of the constellation of Virgo, also known as the Virgin. Created through computer-generated imagery, this stunning piece depicts the celestial figure with a vibrant red line outlining its shape in the night sky. Virgo holds great significance both astronomically and astrologically as it is one of the twelve constellations or signs of the Zodiac. Throughout history, this ancient constellation has been associated with various mother goddesses across different cultures and mythologies. In India, she was revered as Kanya, mother to Krishna; in Babylonia, she took on the name Ishtar; while in Egypt, she was known as Isis. The Greek and Roman civilizations identified her as Astreae, daughter of Zeus and Themis. Interestingly enough, early Christians later connected her to Mary, giving rise to her modern association with virginity. This remarkable artwork not only highlights Virgo's cosmic beauty but also serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with astrology and our desire to understand our place within the vast universe. With its blend of science and artistry, this print from Science Photo Library invites us into a world where stars align with mythology and imagination intertwines with reality.
