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
Plate 239 from John James Audubon's renowned work, "Birds of America," showcases the intricate details of the American Coot (Fulica americana). This hand-coloured aquatint print, created between 1834 and 1835, was engraved, printed, and coloured by R. Havell (& Son) in London. The American Coot, a member of the Rallidae family, is a distinctive waterbird with a long, flat, and slightly upturned bill. Its feet, which are perfectly adapted for swimming and diving, are prominently displayed in this illustration. Audubon's meticulous attention to anatomy is evident in the detailed depiction of the Coot's long legs and webbed feet. The bird's body is covered in iridescent green and black feathers, with a white belly and a distinctive black stripe running down its side. The American Coot is often found in wetlands throughout North and South America, and can be observed both in the water and on land. This stunning illustration captures the American Coot in its natural habitat during daytime hours. The vibrant colours and intricate details bring the bird to life, providing a glimpse into the natural world of the Sauropsida, a group of vertebrates that includes birds and reptiles. The beauty and precision of this plate serve as a testament to Audubon's unwavering dedication to documenting the natural world and to the art of illustration.
