31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 captures the awe-inspiring moment when Apollo 17 astronaut Dr Harrison Schmitt, a geologist by profession, embarked on an extraordinary journey to explore the Taurus-Littrow region of the Moon. As part of NASA's final Apollo mission in December 1972, Dr Schmitt made history as the only scientist to have ever set foot on our lunar neighbor. In this remarkable scene from early space exploration, we witness Dr Schmitt diligently studying the rocky lunar surface with great curiosity and scientific precision. Equipped with cutting-edge technology and wearing his iconic space suit, he navigates through the low gravity environment while discovering new insights about our solar system's enigmatic satellite. The significance of this image lies not only in its historical context but also in its representation of human achievement and determination. It serves as a reminder that even amidst vast unknowns, mankind has always strived for discovery and pushed boundaries beyond what was once thought possible. As we gaze upon this monochrome snapshot from one of humanity's greatest adventures, we are reminded of the immense contributions made by individuals like Dr Harrison Schmitt who dedicated their lives to unraveling the mysteries of our universe. This photograph stands as a testament to their unwavering commitment to science and exploration – an enduring symbol of human ingenuity that will forever be etched in history.
