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
In this image from John James Audubon's "Birds of America," we find ourselves in the heart of a dramatic encounter between a Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) and a Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus). Plate 76 of this iconic work, hand-colored aquatint engraving, showcases the intricate details of these birds in their natural habitat. The Northern Bobwhite, a member of the galliformes family, is depicted in the foreground, huddled with its flock. Their distinctive plumage, with its bold black and white stripes, stands out against the lush green foliage. The bobwhite's beak is open, emitting a call that seems to warn its companions of the impending danger. In the background, the Red-shouldered Hawk, an accipitriforme and a member of the accipitridae family, is in mid-flight, its wings outstretched and its sharp eyes focused intently on its prey. The hawk's red shoulders, a striking contrast to its brown body, are evident as it prepares to attack. This illustration, engraved, printed, and hand-colored by R. Havell (& Son) in London, is a testament to the skill and artistry of the time. The action is palpable, and the colors, though faded with age, still evoke the vibrancy and energy of the scene. The interplay between the Northern Bobwhite and the Red-shouldered Hawk is a reminder of the delicate balance of nature and the intricate relationships between various species. Audubon's "Birds of America" remains a seminal work in the history of ornithology and natural history illustration. This plate, in particular, offers a glimpse into the world of these birds, their behaviors, and their interactions, frozen in time and brought to life through the masterful artistry of Audubon and his collaborators.
