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 stunning 16th century artwork, titled "Animalia Volatilia et Amphibia (Aier): Plate XXV" by Joris Hoefnagel, showcases an exquisite arrangement of European birds and a bullfinch from Asia. The meticulously detailed drawing, executed in watercolor and gouache with an oval border in gold on vellum, is a testament to Hoefnagel's exceptional artistic skill and naturalistic observation. Hoefnagel, a Flemish artist active in Europe during the late 16th century, is renowned for his intricate and accurate illustrations of animals. In this plate, we find a variety of European birds, including bullfinches, sparrows, and a great spotted woodpecker. The bullfinch, with its vibrant red plumage and distinctive black mask, is depicted perched gracefully on a branch, while the sparrows and woodpecker add dynamic energy to the composition. The bullfinch, a native of Asia, was likely included in this European work due to its popularity as a prized pet and symbol of love. The great spotted woodpecker, with its distinctive black and white markings, is a common sight in Europe and is shown here with remarkable accuracy. This artwork, now housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a valuable addition to the heritage of natural history and art. It provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the natural world as it was observed and depicted during the Renaissance period. The intricate details and lifelike quality of the illustrations continue to captivate viewers and inspire appreciation for the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
