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
This exquisite watercolor and pencil illustration showcases the captivating beauty of the Silvery-cheeked Hornbill (Bycanistes brevis), a striking bird species native to Africa. Painted by the renowned ornithological artist, Claude Gibney Finch-Davies, in 1940, this illustration is a testament to Finch-Davies' masterful skill and dedication to the art of ornithology. The Silvery-cheeked Hornbill, one of the twenty-three hornbill species found in Africa, is characterized by its long, large, and distinctive horn-like casque on its bright red, elongated bill. The bird's rump is a striking contrast in color, a deep blue-black, while its body is predominantly black with iridescent green and purple feathers on its wings and tail. The bird's face is adorned with silvery-white feathers, giving it the common name 'Silvery-cheeked.' In this illustration, the Silvery-cheeked Hornbill is depicted perched gracefully on a branch, its head turned slightly to one side, revealing the intricacies of its anatomy. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the delicate rendering of the bird's bone structure, particularly the casque on its bill. The illustration also highlights the bird's long, curved claws, which are perfect for gripping branches and climbing trees. As a member of the Bucerotiformes order and the Bucerotidae family, the Silvery-cheeked Hornbill is a sauropsid, a group of reptile-descended vertebrates that includes birds and reptiles. The illustration serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity of Africa and the importance of preserving and celebrating the natural world through art and science.
