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
of John and Elizabeth Gould's "A Monograph of the Trogonid, or family of Trogons" (1838) features a stunning, hand-coloured lithograph of the Harpactes duvaucelii, also known as the scarlet-rumped trogon. This exquisite illustration showcases the vibrant plumage and intricate anatomy of this bird. John Gould, a renowned English publisher and printmaker, and his wife Elizabeth, a skilled artist, collaborated on this ambitious project to document the natural history of the trogon family. The image of the Harpactes duvaucelii is perched gracefully on a long, slender branch, its head turned slightly towards the viewer, revealing the intricacies of its feathers and the distinctive orange hue of its rump. The trogon is a bird native to the forests of Southeast Asia, and this illustration provides a detailed and accurate representation of its anatomy, with each feather and contour meticulously rendered. The image is set against a plain background, allowing the bird to take centre stage and captivate the viewer's attention. The nineteenth century was a time of great exploration and discovery, and "A Monograph of the Trogonid" was a significant contribution to the scientific record of the natural world. This illustration, in particular, offers a glimpse into the beauty and diversity of the avian world, and serves as a testament to the skill and artistry of John and Elizabeth Gould. The Harpactes duvaucelii is a bird of the daytime hours, and this image captures it in its vibrant, colourful glory. The use of hand-colouring adds depth and richness to the illustration, bringing the bird to life and making it a true work of art. This image is a must-see for anyone with an interest in ornithology, natural history, or the art of the nineteenth century.
