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 captures a vulnerable tuatara, Sphenodon punctatus, on the shore in 1908. The tuatara, also known as hatteria, is a living-fossil reptile native to New Zealand. Its unique appearance and ancient lineage make it an intriguing subject for natural history enthusiasts. The illustration was created by Heinrich Harder (1858-1935), a renowned German landscape artist and book illustrator. In this color printed illustration from Wilhelm Bolsches Tiere der Urwelt (Animals of the Prehistoric World), Harder beautifully depicts the tuatara against the backdrop of its natural habitat. The tuatara's vulnerability is emphasized through this artwork, reminding us of the importance of conservation efforts to protect these remarkable creatures. As one of New Zealand's iconic species, their survival plays a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity. This image not only showcases Harder's artistic talent but also serves as a historical record of early twentieth-century scientific exploration and understanding. It provides insight into our fascination with prehistory and our continuous quest to unravel the mysteries of ancient life forms. As we admire this stunning print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of the intricate beauty found in nature and encouraged to appreciate and safeguard our planet's diverse wildlife for generations to come.
