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 artwork titled "Music and Prime Numbers" takes us back to the 18th century, immersing us in the world of German composer Johann Sebastian Bach. The print showcases a blackboard displaying the opening of Part I of his renowned Goldberg Variations from 1741. The aria and set of 30 variations are beautifully depicted alongside intricate patterns and musical notes. What makes this artwork truly unique is the incorporation of prime numbers into its design. Prime numbers, those divisible only by one and themselves, have been meticulously written on the blackboard, transforming Bach's masterpiece into what is now known as "Prime Variations". This fusion between music and mathematics highlights both cultural significance and mathematical brilliance. The white background enhances the historical ambiance while allowing every detail to shine through. This European-style cartoon illustration not only pays homage to classical music but also celebrates the genius behind Bach's compositions. As we admire this piece, we can't help but marvel at how it seamlessly blends elements from different disciplines - music, history, mathematics - creating a harmonious symphony that transcends time. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries; it can be found in unexpected places like an old classroom blackboard or within prime numbers themselves. Science Photo Library presents this extraordinary artwork as a testament to human creativity throughout centuries – where culture meets calculation in perfect harmony.
