31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 titled "Man is but a worm" takes us back to the year 1881, a significant time in history when Charles Darwin's groundbreaking book "The Formation of Vegetable Mould through the action of Worms" was published. The cartoon, originally featured in Punch magazine, cleverly depicts the concept of evolution from worm to man. In this wood engraving, we see an intricate portrayal of life's development unfolding before our eyes. Starting with a humble earthworm at the bottom, we witness its gradual transformation into various stages until it reaches its pinnacle as a sophisticated human being. This visual representation beautifully captures Darwin's theory on how all living organisms are connected through an evolutionary process. What adds another layer of intrigue to this artwork is the presence of Charles Darwin himself observing this grand spectacle. As one of history's most influential scientists and proponents of evolution, his inclusion symbolizes his profound contribution to our understanding of life's origins and diversification. This image serves as a powerful reminder that every living creature has evolved over millions of years, highlighting humanity's connection to even the tiniest organisms. It invites us to reflect on our place within nature and appreciate the vastness and complexity that surrounds us. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from 1881, it sparks curiosity about how far science has come since then while reminding us that there is still so much more left for us to uncover about our own existence in this ever-evolving world.
