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 engraving from the 19th century, titled "Fancy Portrait, 'I'd be a butterfly'" showcases the artistic brilliance of the English School. The print, now held in a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for The Comic Annual by Thomas Hood in 1833. The image exudes both humor and scientific curiosity as it combines elements of botany, natural history, and entomology. A single person is depicted in this portrait - their identity hidden behind the guise of various butterflies. The artist skillfully captures the essence of these delicate creatures with intricate details that highlight their beauty. Amongst the fluttering insects portrayed are species such as nymphalis urticae (peacock butterfly), aglais urticae (brimstone butterfly), and red admiral. Each one adds its unique charm to this whimsical composition. The engraver's expertise shines through in every line and curve, showcasing not only their technical mastery but also their ability to infuse humor into art. This piece serves as a reminder that even within scientific exploration lies room for creativity and amusement. As we gaze upon this enchanting print from centuries past, we are transported back to a time when nature's wonders were celebrated through artistry. It reminds us of our connection to the natural world while inviting us to embrace our own inner metamorphosis – just like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis.
