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 from Universal Images Group (UIG) takes us back to the early days of photography, specifically to London in 1840. It showcases a remarkable invention called the camera obscura, which revolutionized the way people captured images. In this image, we see the intricate setup of the camera obscura: a mirror tilted at a precise angle of 45 degrees collects the scene outside and reflects it onto a meniscus lens positioned between F and C. The magic happens as light passes through this lens, creating an inverted image that is then thrown onto a table below. The ingenuity behind this contraption lies in its ability to capture reality with astonishing accuracy. By harnessing optics and clever engineering, photographers were able to freeze moments in time forever. This particular photograph was featured in The Magazine of Science Vol. I – a testament to its significance within scientific circles during that era. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, let us appreciate how far photography has come since then. From these humble beginnings emerged an art form that continues to shape our world today. So much more than just capturing images on film or digital sensors, photography allows us to explore emotions, tell stories, and document history itself. Let's cherish this glimpse into the past and celebrate how science and creativity intertwine beautifully through lenses like these!
