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 78" from Archibald Thorburn's second edition of "British Birds, Volume 2," published in 1925, features a stunning and intricately detailed depiction of the Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos). This majestic bird of prey is shown in mid-flight, its powerful wings outstretched, feathers fluffy and golden in the sunlight. The eagle's piercing eyes are fixed on the horizon, scanning for prey, while its curved beak and hooked talons are ready for the kill. Golden Eagles are part of the Accipitridae family, which also includes hawks, kites, and harriers. They are the largest of the European eagles, with a wingspan of up to 7.5 feet, and are characterized by their distinctive golden feathers on the back of their heads and under their wings. The anatomy of this bird is beautifully illustrated in the plate, from its streamlined body and broad wings to its powerful legs and feet, which are covered in feathering up to the toes for added insulation and protection. The geomorphology of the Golden Eagle is adapted for its role as a bird of prey, with a strong, hooked beak for tearing flesh and sharp talons for grasping and holding onto prey. This image captures the essence of the Golden Eagle as a symbol of power, grace, and the majesty of nature. The 19th century illustration, produced during a time when natural history was a popular pursuit, showcases the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of Archibald Thorburn, who is renowned for his accurate and evocative depictions of birds and other wildlife. The Golden Eagle is a bird of the daytime, hunting during the hours of sunlight, and is a fascinating and awe-inspiring creature that continues to capture the imagination of people around the world.
