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 intriguing handcolored copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1798, showcases two fascinating insects: the European grain moth (Nemapogon granella) and the common bed bug (Cimex lectularius). The European grain moth, depicted in magnified form in parts e, f, and larva a and b, is a small moth with a wingspan of around 15-20mm. Its larvae, as shown here, are characterized by their distinctive white, waxy tufts and a brown head. The European grain moth is native to Europe and is a significant pest of stored grain and other dried food products. The common bed bug, shown magnified in part g, is a small, flat, brown insect measuring around 4-5mm long. It is an ectoparasitic insect that feeds on the blood of humans and other warm-blooded animals. The common bed bug is a nocturnal creature and is often found in mattresses, bed frames, and other areas where humans sleep. The meticulous detail and vibrant colors in this engraving serve to highlight the unique features of these insects, providing a glimpse into the natural world of the late 18th century. The inclusion of these insects in a children's picture book reflects a growing interest in entomology during this time period, as well as an increasing awareness of the natural world and its inhabitants.
