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
Plate 69 from John Gould's The Birds of Asia, Volume 7, presents a stunning and intricately detailed hand-coloured lithograph of the Mandarin Duck, Aix galericulata. This beautiful duck species is native to East Asia and is renowned for its vibrant plumage, with the male displaying a striking combination of bright red, blue, and purple feathers. The Mandarin Duck is depicted in this illustration with its distinctive crown of erectile feathers, which resemble a royal headdress, adding to its regal appearance. The meticulous anatomy of the bird is on full display, from its long, slender neck to its webbed feet, which are adapted for dabbling in shallow water. The intricate details of the Mandarin Duck's anatomy are brought to life through the artistry of hand-colouring, with each feather and texture rendered with care and precision. The bird's piercing, intelligent eye gazes out from the page, inviting the viewer to appreciate the beauty and complexity of this remarkable creature. This illustration, produced during the 19th century, is a testament to the skill and artistry of the lithographic process, which allowed for the creation of detailed and lifelike images. The use of hand-colouring added an additional layer of depth and richness to the image, making it a prized addition to any collection of natural history or ornithological prints. The Mandarin Duck remains an iconic symbol of the natural world, and this beautiful illustration serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and appreciating the diverse array of species that inhabit our planet.
