Coloured X-ray of a human skull seen from the side
Skull. Coloured X-ray of a human skull seen from the side. The face is at left. At top is the large cranium (pink) which encloses the brain. The jaw (lower left) houses numerous teeth. One of the wisdom teeth can be seen emerging at the back of the lower jaw. All the bones of the skull, apart from the mandible (jaw-bone) and facial bones, are fused together to form a solid structure that protects the brain

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 coloured X-ray of a human skull seen from the side, providing an extraordinary glimpse into the intricate details of our anatomy. The face is positioned on the left, while at the top lies the large cranium, distinguished by its striking pink hue, which serves as a protective casing for the brain. As we shift our gaze towards the lower left, we encounter the jaw housing numerous teeth that play an essential role in chewing and digestion. A fascinating highlight within this image is one of the wisdom teeth emerging at the back of the lower jaw—a testament to our continuous growth and development even in adulthood. What truly sets this composition apart is how all bones of the skull (excluding facial bones and mandible) are fused together to form a solid structure safeguarding our most vital organ—the brain. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this profound representation of human anatomy through their lens. This print not only offers aesthetic appeal but also invites contemplation about our own mortality and vulnerability. It serves as a reminder that beneath our external appearances lie complex systems working tirelessly to sustain life itself.
