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
of A Monograph of the Phasianid, or Family of the Pheasants, by Daniel Giraud Elliot, features a stunning depiction of Argusianus argus grayi, commonly known as the great argus. This 19th century illustration, created by the skilled hand of Joseph Wolf, showcases the magnificent crest, intricately patterned feathers, and distinctive facial features of this avian species. The great argus is a large, brown bird native to the forests of Southeast Asia. Known for its impressive size and vibrant plumage, it is a member of the Galliformes order, which includes other birds such as turkeys and quails. In this illustration, we see the great argus in flight, its wings spread wide and its blue-gray feathers creating a striking contrast against the background. Argusianus argus grayi is named for its elaborate crest, which resembles a series of fan-like structures on the head. The bird's face is adorned with a distinctive white stripe that runs from the bill to the back of the head. The great argus is a daytime bird, and can often be found perched in trees or on the forest floor, foraging for food. This beautiful illustration, created in the late 1800s, provides a detailed and accurate record of the anatomy and appearance of the great argus. It is a testament to the meticulous work of both Elliot and Wolf, and remains an important contribution to the scientific study of avian species. The intricate details of the feathers, the subtle shading, and the lifelike quality of the illustration make it a true masterpiece of natural history art.
