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 haunting print from Universal Images Group (UIG) captures the devastating impact of smallpox in the late 19th century. Taken from a French medical book dating back to around 1890, it serves as a stark reminder of the relentless battle against this deadly disease. The image portrays an anonymous smallpox victim, their face marred by painful pustules and scars that symbolize the horrors endured during an epidemic. The viewer is confronted with the harsh reality faced by countless individuals who fell victim to this highly contagious virus. Smallpox, once rampant across the globe, claimed millions of lives throughout history. This photograph encapsulates both its destructive power and humanity's unwavering determination to combat it through advancements in medicine. As we gaze upon this poignant snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how far we have come in our fight against infectious diseases. The progress made since c1890 is evident today as smallpox has been eradicated globally—a testament to mankind's resilience and collective efforts. Let us not forget those who suffered at the hands of this merciless illness nor underestimate the importance of vaccination programs that continue to protect future generations from similar plights. This print stands as a powerful tribute to all victims while serving as a solemn reminder that vigilance remains crucial in safeguarding public health worldwide.
