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 from Science Photo Library showcases a delicate porcelain hand, offering a thought-provoking representation of diseases that affect mobility and bone strength. The intricate details of the hand's surface highlight its artificial nature, symbolizing the fragility often associated with conditions like arthritis and osteoporosis. The concept behind this image goes beyond the physical appearance of a human hand, delving into the realm of anatomy and medical disorders. It serves as a visual metaphor for how these diseases can render our bodies stiff, paralysed or even brittle like porcelain. The coldness emanating from the porcelain further emphasizes the loss of warmth and vitality experienced by those affected. By capturing this moment in time, Science Photo Library invites us to reflect on the challenges faced by individuals living with such conditions. The fingers appear frozen in an unnatural position, evoking feelings of helplessness and immobility commonly associated with paralysis or Raynaud's syndrome. Ultimately, this photograph encourages us to contemplate not only physical ailments but also their impact on one's overall well-being. It reminds us to appreciate our own health while fostering empathy towards those who navigate life with these invisible battles.
