23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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
This exquisite handcolored copperplate print showcases the Eurasian Nuthatch, Sitta europaea, perched gracefully on a hazelnut tree. The intricate detail and vibrant colors bring the bird's distinctive features to life, from its black and white striped back, to its rust-colored underparts and distinctive white eyestripe. The hazelnut tree, with its leaves turning autumnal shades, provides a beautiful backdrop to the nuthatch's bold presence. This illustration is taken from Edward Donovan's "Natural History of British Birds," published in London between 1794 and 1819. Donovan, an accomplished artist and ornithologist, created this work to document the natural history of the birds found in Britain during this time. The meticulous process of handcoloring each print added an extra layer of artistry to the already impressive copperplate engravings. The Eurasian Nuthatch is a small, agile bird that is commonly found in Europe, North Africa, and Asia. It is known for its ability to climb down tree trunks headfirst, a behavior that sets it apart from other nuthatches. This print offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and intrigue of a bird that continues to fascinate ornithologists and nature enthusiasts alike. This historical illustration not only serves as a testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of the past, but also highlights the importance of preserving and studying the natural world. The Eurasian Nuthatch, with its distinctive appearance and unique behaviors, continues to captivate and inspire us today.
