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
Arctic Yager, Lestris Parasitica, by John James Audubon: A Vibrant Portrayal of Arctic Fauna in the 1800s This stunning color plate, titled "Arctic Yager, Lestris Parasitica," is an exquisite work of art by the renowned American naturalist and painter, John James Audubon. Created between 1827 and 1838, this plate is part of Audubon's magnum opus, "The Birds of America," which comprises 435 life-size illustrations of North American birds, produced from original drawings. The Arctic Yager, depicted in this plate, is a lesser-known species of bird, scientifically known as Lestris Parasitica. This seabird is native to the Arctic regions, and its distinctive appearance is captured in exquisite detail in Audubon's painting. The bird is shown perched on a rocky outcrop, with the icy Arctic waters in the background. Audubon's mastery of color and technique is evident in this plate, which brings the Arctic landscape to life with its vibrant hues and intricate details. The artist's keen observation skills are on full display, as he accurately depicts the textures of the bird's feathers, the veins on its legs, and the intricate patterns on its beak. The plate also offers a glimpse into the historical context of the time, with the natural world being a source of fascination and exploration during the 1800s. Audubon's work was groundbreaking, as it represented a new approach to documenting and preserving the natural history of the American continent. His meticulous attention to detail and dedication to accuracy paved the way for future generations of naturalists and artists. This plate, with its breathtaking beauty and historical significance, is a testament to Audubon's enduring legacy and the importance of preserving the natural world for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
