17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
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 illustration showcases the intricately detailed head of a Cassowary, a large, flightless bird native to the tropical rainforests of New Guinea and northern Australia. The illustration is the work of renowned Victorian-era naturalist artist, John Gerrard Keulemans, created in the year 1893. Keulemans, a Dutch artist, was known for his meticulous and accurate depictions of birds and reptiles, making him a leading figure in the field of natural history illustration during the 19th century. The Cassowary, a member of the Casuariiformes order and the Casuariidae family, is characterized by its distinctive, helmet-like casque on its head, large, powerful legs, and sharp claws. This anatomical feature is beautifully rendered in Keulemans' illustration, allowing us to appreciate the unique adaptations of this fascinating creature. The Cassowary is an important part of the sauropsida family, which includes reptiles and birds, and is the largest living bird in the world by weight. The illustration offers a close-up view of its head, revealing the intricate textures and patterns of its feathers, the sharpness of its beak, and the intensity of its eyes. This illustration is a testament to the remarkable artistry and scientific accuracy of the Victorian era, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and appreciating the natural world. Keulemans' work continues to inspire and fascinate us, offering a window into the wonders of the natural world that existed over a century ago.
