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.

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 face of Charles Darwin, a renowned English naturalist and author of the groundbreaking book "Origin of Species". Created in 1881 by artist John Collier, this hand-coloured portrait aquatint captures the essence of Darwin's intellectual prowess. Considered one of the best representations of his appearance, it is mentioned in Francis Darwin's "Life and Letter of Charles Darwin" as a true reflection of his countenance. Darwin's theory on evolution by natural selection remains one of science's most significant and controversial ideas. It serves as the foundation for modern life sciences, shaping our understanding of human origins and biological diversity. This artwork symbolizes not only Darwin's genius but also his contributions to our understanding of the world. The Victorian-era illustration transports us back to a time when scientific exploration was at its peak. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of Darwin himself but also other influential figures like Alfred Russel Wallace and Thomas Huxley who contributed to evolutionary theories during that era. Displaying this print on your wall is an ode to scientific curiosity and discovery. It celebrates both the beauty found in artistry and the profound impact that scientific ideas can have on society. Let this piece inspire you to delve deeper into humanity's complex journey through time while appreciating how far we've come in unraveling nature's mysteries.
