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 showcases the Vampire Bat, a mesmerizing creature captured in its natural habitat. Created by artist Robert Taylor Pritchett in 1885 and featured in Charles Darwin's renowned Journal of Researchers into the Natural History and Geology of the Countries Visited during the Voyage of H. M. S. Beagle Round the World, this image transports us to South America, where this enigmatic animal resides. The bat's wings are spread wide, revealing intricate details that highlight its unique anatomy. Against a pristine white background, every contour is accentuated, evoking an eerie yet fascinating ambiance. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this nineteenth-century engraving, lending it an air of mystery. Pritchett masterfully captures both the beauty and peculiarity of this South American species known for its association with Halloween folklore. With its sharp claws and elongated fangs visible on its underside portrait, one cannot help but be drawn into the world of these nocturnal creatures. As we delve into Darwin's scientific exploration through his journal entries accompanied by Pritchett's illustrations like this one, we gain insight into their groundbreaking discoveries about our natural world. This print serves as a reminder not only of our fascination with exotic animals but also our ongoing quest to understand them better.
