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
Plate 374 from John James Audubon's iconic work, "Birds of America," showcases the exquisite detail and artistry of a Sharp-shinned Hawk (Accipiter striatus), a bird of prey native to the Americas. This magnificent illustration, part of the original double elephant folio printed between 1835 and 1838, was engraved, printed, and hand-coloured by R. Havell (& Son) in London. The Sharp-shinned Hawk, a member of the Accipitridae family, is depicted in mid-flight, clutching a small mammal in its powerful talons. Its piercing gaze and sharp beak convey the intensity and focus of this agile hunter. The intricate anatomy of the hawk's wings, feathers, and leg structure are beautifully rendered, providing an unparalleled glimpse into the natural world. Audubon's masterpiece captures the Sharp-shinned Hawk in its natural habitat, perched on a branch during daytime hours. The hawk's anatomy is further emphasized by the contrasting colours and textures, bringing the bird to life in a way that was unprecedented for the time. The Sharp-shinned Hawk, a member of the order Accipitriformes and the class Aves, is an epitome of the Eutheria, the mammalian class that includes mammals. This illustration is a testament to Audubon's unwavering dedication to documenting the natural world and his mastery of the art of aquatint. The intricate details, vibrant colours, and lifelike quality of this print continue to captivate viewers and inspire awe over two centuries later.
