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
Border Canaries: A Vibrant Snapshot of a Bygone Era (c.1937) This charming postcard, featuring a lively group of Border Canaries, offers a captivating glimpse into the past. Dating back to approximately 1937, this image showcases the beauty and allure of these distinctive birds. Border Canaries, also known as English Canaries, originated in the English Midlands during the late 19th century. They were bred for their unique coloration, which often included yellow feathers, black and white stripes, and red faces. The birds' striking appearance made them a popular subject for collectors and hobbyists, as evidenced by the numerous postcards and photographs that were produced during this era. In this image, the Border Canaries are displayed in a wooden cage, which is adorned with intricate carvings and colorful ribbons. The birds themselves are perched on various branches, showcasing their vibrant plumage and expressive personalities. Their bright colors and lively demeanor add a burst of cheer to the scene, making it an enduring reminder of a bygone era. The postcard's aged appearance, with its slightly faded edges and worn texture, only adds to its charm. It invites us to imagine a time when such postcards were a common form of communication and when Border Canaries were a popular source of fascination and delight. This photograph, from the Mary Evans / Peter & Dawn Cope Collection, is a testament to the enduring appeal of these beautiful birds and the nostalgia they evoke. It serves as a reminder of the simple joys and pleasures that can be found in the natural world and the power of a well-captured moment to transport us back in time.
