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
This exquisite hand-colored etching depicts the American Goldfinch, Carduelis tristis, from Plate 43 of Mark Catesby's seminal work, The Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands (1731-1743). Catesby, an English naturalist, traveled to the Americas in the early 18th century to document the natural history of the region. His meticulous observations and illustrations were groundbreaking, providing some of the first accurate records of North American birds and other wildlife. In this image, the American Goldfinch perches confidently on a long, slender branch, its vibrant yellow body contrasting against the dark background. The intricate details of the bird's plumage are beautifully rendered, from the red face mask and wings to the delicate, barbed feathers on its forehead. The etching technique allows for a remarkable level of detail, capturing the textures and patterns of the bird's feathers and the delicate veins on its wings. The American Goldfinch is a small, finch-like bird that is native to North America. It is a member of the Fringillidae family and is known for its distinctive red face mask and bright yellow body. The bird is commonly found in open country, fields, and meadows, and is a popular bird among birdwatchers and naturalists. This etching is a testament to Catesby's skill as an artist and naturalist, and is a valuable historical record of the natural history of the Americas. The intricate details and vibrant colors make it a stunning addition to any collection of natural history or ornithology prints.
