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 captures the distinguished figure of Sir Horace Darwin, F. R. S. , son of the renowned British naturalist Charles Darwin. As a civil engineer and prominent member of society, Sir Horace's legacy extends far beyond his family name. The image showcases his senior adult years, with a head and shoulders studio portrait that exudes an air of wisdom and authority. Sir Horace's European heritage is evident in his refined features and elegant attire. His piercing eyes make direct eye contact with the viewer, revealing a depth of knowledge accumulated over a lifetime dedicated to scientific pursuits. Notable facial hair including sideburns, mustache, and beard frame his face, adding to the Victorian charm that characterized this era. The photograph was taken at Down House in England, where Sir Horace resided for many years alongside his father Charles Darwin. This historic location holds great significance as it served as both home and workplace for one of history's most influential scientists. Sir Horace's contributions extended beyond engineering; he also held positions such as Mayor of Cambridge and worked closely with the Cambridge Scientific Instrument Company. These achievements further solidify his status among Britain's elite intellectuals during the 19th century. In this portrait captured by Alan Moorhead for "Darwin and the Beagle" we witness not only Sir Horace Darwin but also catch glimpses into an era defined by intellectual curiosity and progress.
