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 showcases the iconic Mauritius Dodo, a flightless bird that tragically went extinct. The engraving, created in 1879, beautifully captures the essence of this unique creature. The Mauritius Dodo, scientifically known as Raphus cucullatus, was once native to the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. This enchanting bird possessed an endearing charm with its plump body and distinctive beak. Sadly, due to human interference and hunting by European sailors who arrived on the island in the 17th century, this remarkable species met its untimely demise. The dodo's inability to fly made it an easy target for these newcomers seeking fresh meat during their long voyages. Today, all we have left are depictions like this engraving from 1879 that serve as a poignant reminder of what was lost forever. It serves as a testament to our responsibility towards preserving Earth's diverse wildlife. As we gaze upon this image from Granger Art on Demand's collection, let us reflect on how our actions can impact fragile ecosystems and ultimately lead to irreversible consequences. May it inspire us to protect and cherish every living being that shares our planet - ensuring that no more magnificent creatures suffer the same fate as The Mauritius Dodo.
