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
Plate 26 of the Loten Collection of coloured drawings presents a captivating illustration of the Common Koel, Eudynamys scolopaceus, by the skilled hand of Pieter Cornelius de Bevere. Dating back to the 18th century, this exquisite painting showcases the intricate details of this Asian cuckoo's anatomy. The Common Koel is depicted perched on a branch, its grey back and belly contrasting with the vibrant red and orange hues of the surrounding angiosperms or flowering plants. The koel's distinctive belly, adorned with white spots, is prominently displayed as it leans forward, adding to the lifelike quality of the illustration. The Common Koel, a member of the Cuculidae family, is known for its brood parasitic behavior, where it lays its eggs in the nests of other birds. This unusual reproductive strategy is not evident in the painting, but the koel's alert and focused expression suggests the intense focus required for such a behavior. The Loten Collection of coloured drawings, compiled between 1754 and 1757, is an essential contribution to the art of ornithology. Pieter Cornelius de Bevere, born in 1710 and active until 1789, was a renowned Dutch artist who dedicated his career to the meticulous documentation of various species. His work, including this illustration of the Common Koel, continues to captivate our imagination and deepen our understanding of the natural world.
