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
This print takes us back to the fourteenth century, offering a glimpse into the world of surgery during that time. The engraving, based on a manuscript by renowned French surgeon Guy de Chaulliac, depicts an anatomy lesson conducted by a doctor. In this vertical composition, we see two individuals engrossed in the lesson while looking away from each other. The setting is indoors, likely within a scholarly environment where education and knowledge were highly valued. As was customary in those days, only men are present in the room. The artwork beautifully captures the essence of French culture and showcases their advancements in healthcare and medicine. The intricate illustration technique used to create this engraved image highlights the skill and artistry of its creator. Latin script adorns the margins of this piece, adding an air of authenticity and historical significance. As we observe closely, our attention is drawn to a human skeleton prominently displayed on a table at the center of the scene. This serves as both an educational tool for students and a reminder of mortality within medical practice. Overall, this fascinating print offers us not only a window into history but also reflects upon how far we have come in terms of medical knowledge and techniques since Guy de Chaulliac's era.
