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 coloured engraving from the 19th century showcases a collection of strange and fascinating fish species. The print, titled "Strange Fish" is part of the Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children) published between 1790-1830 by Friedrich Justin Bertuch. The image features an array of peculiar marine creatures, each with its own unique characteristics. Among them are the shortnose boxfish, sargassum pipefish, smooth trunkfish, common seadragon, greater pipefish, buffalo trunkfish, alligator pipefish, and striped cowfish. These extraordinary specimens display intricate patterns and vibrant colors that mesmerize viewers. The German School's attention to detail in this engraving is truly remarkable. Every scale and fin has been meticulously rendered to bring these underwater wonders to life on paper. The composition allows us to appreciate both the individual beauty of each fish as well as their collective diversity. As we gaze upon this historical artwork now preserved in a private collection, we are reminded of the rich biodiversity found within our oceans. It serves as a testament to nature's endless capacity for creating awe-inspiring forms and reminds us of our responsibility to protect these fragile ecosystems. This enchanting print captures not only the imagination but also highlights the importance of appreciating and preserving our natural world for future generations.
