Premium Framed Print : Smallpox infection
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Smallpox infection
MODEL RELEASED. Smallpox infection. Simulation of a doctor writing on a slide that has pus infected with the smallpox virus on it. Smallpox is a contagious viral disease unique to humans. It is caused by the virus variants Variola major and Variola minor. The virus is spread by prolonged contact with infected bodily fluids or contaminated objects. The virus attacks skin cells, causing the development of pustules (blisters) all over the body. In the worst form of the disease, the pustules merge together and the skin separates from the underlying flesh. A global vaccination program led to the complete eradication of smallpox by 1979. However, stocks of the virus are held by the US and Russia

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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 from Science Photo Library depicts a simulation of a smallpox infection, with a doctor carefully examining pus infected with the smallpox virus on a slide. Smallpox, an infectious viral disease exclusive to humans, is caused by two variants of the virus: Variola major and Variola minor. The highly contagious nature of this disease means it spreads through prolonged contact with infected bodily fluids or contaminated objects. The photograph vividly showcases the devastating effects of smallpox on the human body. The virus attacks skin cells, resulting in the development of pustules (blisters) all over the body. In severe cases, these pustules merge together and cause the skin to separate from underlying flesh. Fortunately, due to a global vaccination program led by medical professionals worldwide, smallpox was successfully eradicated in 1979. However, stocks of the virus are still held by both the United States and Russia for research purposes. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder of our triumph against one of history's deadliest diseases while highlighting its morbid consequences. It also emphasizes how crucial protective measures such as gloves, masks, and specialized clothing are in preventing further outbreaks or potential bioterrorism threats involving this infectious agent. Science Photo Library has once again captured an extraordinary moment that encapsulates both scientific curiosity and humanity's relentless pursuit for better health care practices.
