Spinal column
Spinal column. Historical artwork of the bones of the human spine and pelvis, seen from the front. The backbone (vertical, centre) is a flexible column of 26 spinal bones (vertebrae) supporting the body and protecting the spinal cord. The backbone joins to the skull (not seen) and to the pelvis (lower centre). The bones of the pelvis also connect to the leg bones (bottom right and left). Twelve pairs of ribs are partially shown, with their ligaments. There are seven cervical vertebrae (in the neck), twelve thoracic vertebrae (in the thorax) and five lumbar vertebrae (in the lower back). The final two bones, the sacrum and coccyx, are formed of fused vertebrae

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 showcases a historical artwork of the intricate and essential spinal column. From the front view, we are presented with a detailed depiction of the bones that make up this vital structure in the human body. The backbone, positioned vertically at the center, stands as a flexible column composed of 26 spinal bones or vertebrae. Its primary function is to support our entire body while safeguarding the delicate spinal cord. Intriguingly, this magnificent piece also reveals how the spine connects to both the skull (not visible) and pelvis (lower center). The pelvic bones extend further to connect with our leg bones on either side. Partially shown are twelve pairs of ribs along with their ligaments, contributing to an even deeper understanding of our skeletal system. The image highlights distinct regions within the spine: seven cervical vertebrae in our neck area, twelve thoracic vertebrae located in our thorax region, and five lumbar vertebrae situated in our lower back. Additionally, fused vertebrae form two final bones known as sacrum and coccyx. Through this artful representation from Science Photo Library's collection, viewers can appreciate both its scientific significance and historical value. It serves as a testament to humanity's ongoing fascination with unraveling anatomical mysteries while providing invaluable insights into one of nature's most remarkable creations –the human body itself.
