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.

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 an extraordinary piece of ancient artistry - a cave painting that transports us back in time to the prehistoric era. The artwork, painted on the walls of a mysterious cave, depicts human figures engaged in various activities such as cooking, drinking, fighting, and social interaction. As we gaze upon this remarkable illustration, we are reminded of the immense creativity and ingenuity possessed by our ancestors tens of thousands of years ago. These early artists utilized pigments like manganese oxide and charcoal to bring their visions to life within the dark recesses of the cave. The scene depicted here portrays both male and female individuals engaging in daily tasks that were essential for survival during that time period. It offers us a glimpse into their way of life - how they cooked meals together, shared drinks with one another, fought battles for resources or territory, and interacted socially within their community. This historical masterpiece not only serves as a testament to human evolution but also provides valuable insights into our anthropological past. It is through discoveries like these that we can unravel the mysteries surrounding our origins and better understand how societies have evolved over millennia. Science Photo Library has once again captured an awe-inspiring image that sparks curiosity about our ancient past while reminding us of humanity's enduring artistic spirit.
