Louis Agassiz, American-Swiss naturalist
Jean Louis Rudolphe Agassiz (1807-1873), American- Swiss naturalist and palaeontologist. Agassiz was born and worked in Switzerland until 1846, when he left for the USA. He produced a catalogue of fossil fish from Brazil in 1829, and completed an extensive history of European fish in 1842. In 1843 he wrote a pioneering five-volume work on fossil fish. Outside the field of ichthyology, he was the first to propose the idea of Ice Ages. His research on glaciers led him to conclude that ice sheets advanced and retreated over Europe and North America. He was also a leading critic of Darwins evolution theories

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 the esteemed Louis Agassiz, an influential American-Swiss naturalist of the 19th century. Jean Louis Rudolphe Agassiz, born in Switzerland in 1807, dedicated his life to unraveling the mysteries of nature. His groundbreaking work spanned various fields including zoology, paleontology, and ichthyology. Agassiz's contributions to science were immense. In 1829, he compiled a comprehensive catalogue of fossil fish from Brazil and later completed an extensive history of European fish in 1842. Notably, he authored a pioneering five-volume masterpiece on fossil fish in 1843. Beyond his expertise in ichthyology, Agassiz was also renowned for proposing the concept of Ice Ages. Through meticulous research on glaciers, he concluded that ice sheets had advanced and retreated across Europe and North America over time. As a prominent critic of Darwin's evolution theories during his era, Agassiz left an indelible mark on scientific discourse. This remarkable portrait captures the essence of this brilliant man who fearlessly challenged existing beliefs while expanding our understanding of speciation and Earth's ancient past. Louis Agassiz's legacy lives on as one of history's most distinguished scientists whose profound insights continue to shape our knowledge today. This print serves as a timeless tribute to his invaluable contributions to the world of natural sciences.
