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
Plate 28 of the Zoology of the Voyage of the H.M.S. Beagle, Part 3 Birds, features a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Yellow Warbler, Dendroica petechia aureola, by renowned natural history illustrators John and Elizabeth Gould. This exquisite illustration, created between 1838 and 1841, showcases the intricate details of this vibrant bird species, with its distinctive yellow body, grey wings, and brown streaks. The artist's keen observation is evident in the depiction of the warbler's expressive brown eye, perched intently on a branch. Charles Darwin, the famed naturalist and author of the groundbreaking theory of evolution, was the driving force behind the publication of the Zoology series, which documented the diverse wildlife encountered during the H.M.S. Beagle's voyage. This plate, however, does not depict one of Darwin's finches, but rather the Golden Warbler, a North American species that was also part of the rich biodiversity discovered during the expedition. The intricate anatomy of the Yellow Warbler is beautifully rendered in this illustration, which was produced using the lithographic technique, a popular method for creating detailed and accurate natural history images during the 19th century. The delicate hand-colouring by Elizabeth Gould adds a further layer of depth and realism to the image, making it a true masterpiece of natural history art. This illustration not only serves as a testament to the artistic prowess of John and Elizabeth Gould but also highlights the significant role that the H.M.S. Beagle voyage played in advancing our understanding of the natural world. The Yellow Warbler, with its vibrant plumage and unique characteristics, remains an enduring symbol of the beauty and diversity of the avian kingdom.
