17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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
In this print titled "The astronauts surveying the Moon" we are transported back to the year 1865, when Jules Verne's visionary novel "Autour de la Lune" was published in Paris. This wood engraving beautifully captures a pivotal moment in the story, where the brave astronauts embark on an extraordinary journey to explore our celestial neighbor. As we gaze upon this historic image, we witness these French pioneers of space exploration standing on the lunar surface, their eyes filled with wonder and excitement. Clad in futuristic suits designed for their interstellar voyage, they meticulously study every detail of the Moon's landscape. Their presence symbolizes humanity's insatiable thirst for knowledge and our relentless pursuit of scientific discovery. This wood engraving not only showcases Verne's imaginative storytelling but also highlights his contribution to science fiction literature. Through his words and vivid descriptions, he inspired generations to dream beyond what seemed possible at that time. Today, as we look at this remarkable piece from Universal Images Group (UIG), let us reflect on how far humanity has come since those early days of space exploration. It serves as a reminder that imagination knows no bounds and that through literature and art like this engraving, we continue to push boundaries and reach for the stars.
