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 19th century engraving, titled "Ring-tailed Eagle and Sea Eagle," showcases two of North America's most iconic birds of prey: the Immature Golden Eagle and the Bald Eagle. The image, taken from Alexander Wilson's seminal work "American Ornithology," published in 1824, offers a glimpse into the natural history of these magnificent birds. The Golden Eagle, depicted in the foreground, is an accipitriformes bird of prey belonging to the family Accipitridae. The immature eagle, identifiable by its brown plumage and lack of the distinctive golden feathers on its nape, is perched on a branch, its sharp eyes scanning the surroundings for potential prey. The Bald Eagle, in the background, is also an accipitriformes bird, but of the sea eagle genus Haliaeetus. The juvenile Bald Eagle, with its brown head and white body, is in the process of shedding its juvenile plumage and developing the distinctive white head and tail feathers that characterize the adult bird. The Bald Eagle, Haliaeetus leucocephalus, is a symbol of the United States and a powerful fish-eating bird. The Golden Eagle, Aquila chrysaetos, is a larger and more powerful bird of prey, known for its distinctive golden feathers and predatory prowess. Both birds are depicted in mid-flight, their wings outstretched, ready to take to the sky and hunt. This hand-coloured engraving, created by an unknown artist, offers a fascinating window into the natural history of these birds, which were important symbols of the American wilderness in the early 19th century. The intricate detail and vibrant colours bring the birds to life, transporting us back in time to a world where these magnificent creatures ruled the skies.
