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 stunning hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving, created in 1837, showcases two magnificent birds of prey native to the Americas: the Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja) and the Crested Eagle (Morphnus guianensis). The Harpy Eagle, depicted on the left, is a near-threatened species native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. Known for its powerful build and distinctive feathered crest, this apex predator is the largest and most powerful eagle in the Americas, with a wingspan reaching up to 7 feet. The Harpy Eagle's diet consists mainly of monkeys and sloths, which it hunts by ambushing from above in the dense forest canopy. The eagle's large, hooked beak and powerful talons make short work of its prey, and its keen eyesight and hearing enable it to locate and track its victims from great distances. On the right, the Crested Eagle (Morphnus guianensis) is shown with its distinctive crest of feathers extending from the back of its head. This eagle is found in the forests of Central and South America, and is known for its predatory prowess, hunting primarily reptiles and large insects. This exquisite illustration was created by the skilled hand of Jean Gabriel Pretre, a French naturalist and artist, and was engraved by Terreni under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. The engraving was published by Batelli e Figli in Florence, Italy, and is a testament to the beauty and intricacy of 19th-century scientific illustration.
