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 enchanting print showcases a captivating assembly of dragonflies and damselflies, drawn with exquisite detail by Dutch artists during the 17th to 19th centuries. The collection, housed in the esteemed Entomology Library at the Natural History Museum in London, is a testament to the enduring fascination with these intricately patterned invertebrates. Dragonflies and damselflies, belonging to the order Odonata, are renowned for their large, colorful wings and slender bodies. The dragonflies, characterized by their larger size and broader wings, are represented in this print by species such as the Common Green Darner (Anax junius) and the Eastern Pondhawk (Ecdyonurus venosus). The damselflies, with their thinner wings and slender bodies, are illustrated by the Common Blue Damselfly (Enallagma cyathigerum) and the Variable Damselfly (Coenagrion pulchellum). The artistry of these Dutch drawings is a reflection of the heightened interest in natural history during this period. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant colors used in these illustrations provide a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of these fascinating insects as they were perceived by the naturalists of the time. This beautifully framed print is an essential addition to any room, serving as a reminder of the rich history of natural history and the captivating beauty of the natural world. The delicate interplay of light and shadow, combined with the intricate details of the dragonflies and damselflies, make for a mesmerizing display that is sure to inspire wonder and curiosity in all who behold it.
