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 takes us back in time to the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of forensic science. The image showcases an intricate lithograph of male fingerprints, meticulously captured and published by George Vivian Poore in his renowned treatise on medical jurisprudence in 1902. The monochrome composition exudes a sense of history and authenticity, emphasizing the importance of identification and criminal investigation during that era. Each unique ridge pattern is delicately etched onto paper, serving as a record card for biometric analysis. These fingerprints were instrumental in solving crimes and establishing guilt or innocence. As we delve into this still life portrayal, we are reminded of the significant role these prints played in shaping the field of forensics. They served as crucial evidence within police records, aiding law enforcement agencies worldwide. Todd-White Art Photography has masterfully captured this historical image with precision and clarity. Through their lens, we are transported to a time when fingerprinting was at its nascent stages but already making waves within scientific circles. Let this remarkable photograph serve as a reminder not only of our rich scientific heritage but also as an homage to those who dedicated their lives to advancing our understanding of crime detection techniques.
