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 showcases a historical artwork titled "Aspidonia" created in 1899 by Ernst Haeckel, featured as the 47th plate in his renowned publication "Art Forms in Nature". The artwork depicts Aspidonia organisms, which were once classified under this now invalid name. Aspidonia represented a grouping of the classes Merostomata and Trilobita, both belonging to the fascinating world of zoology. Intriguingly, many of these organisms depicted in Haeckel's masterpiece are now extinct, with only four species from the class Merostomata still surviving today. This monochrome illustration offers us a glimpse into the diverse fauna that inhabited our planet during the 19th century. The historical significance of this artwork lies not only in its artistic value but also its contribution to biology and paleontology. It sheds light on the evolution and classification of various species throughout history while highlighting how scientific terminology has evolved over time. Through this photo print, we are transported back to an era when exploration and discovery were at their peak. It serves as a reminder of our ever-evolving understanding of nature's wonders and emphasizes the importance of preserving our rich biological heritage for future generations.
