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 is a plate from James Barbut's "The Genera Insectorum of Linnaeus exemplified by various specimens of English insects drawn from Nature," published in 1781. The meticulously detailed drawing showcases the intricate anatomy of an English insect, with its six legs and two pairs of wings characteristic of hexapods and insects (Invertebrata, Insecta) in the Arthropoda class. The insect's legs, with their distinct segments and joints, are depicted in a naturalistic pose, revealing the complexity of the arthropod exoskeleton. The wings, delicately veined and translucent, are spread wide, offering a glimpse into the intricate structures that enable these creatures to fly. James Barbut, a skilled illustrator, captured the essence of the insect's form and function in this historical drawing. The studio shot highlights the specimen's anatomical features, inviting viewers to appreciate the beauty and complexity of these often overlooked creatures. This plate is an essential contribution to the scientific record of English insects during the era of Linnaean taxonomy, which revolutionized the way we classify and understand the natural world. The intricacy and accuracy of Barbut's illustration continue to captivate and inspire, offering a window into the rich history of entomology and natural history.
