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 80 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 4 (1873): A Stunning Hand-Coloured Lithograph of the Elusive Jack Snipe (Lymnocryptes minimus) This exquisite hand-coloured lithograph, Plate 80 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 4 (1873), showcases the elusive and enigmatic Jack Snipe (Lymnocryptes minimus). The Jack Snipe is a small, brown, long-legged, wading bird belonging to the Charadriiformes order and the Actinopterygii class of bony fish-eating birds. The Jack Snipe is a master of camouflage, blending seamlessly into its marshy, wetland habitat. In this illustration, the bird is depicted with its head turned to the side, alert and watchful, with its long, down-curved bill open slightly, as if listening intently for the sound of fish swimming nearby. The intricate details of its plumage are beautifully rendered, with delicate, hand-applied colours bringing out the subtle variations in shading and texture. The Jack Snipe is an adept fisher, using a unique hunting technique to catch its prey. It will often stand motionless in the water, waiting for unsuspecting fish to come within reach. When a fish is detected, the Jack Snipe will suddenly throw its head back and give a sharp, drumming call, causing a series of waves that alert other fish to the danger. With a swift, powerful strike, the Jack Snipe will then plunge its bill into the water and capture its prey. This stunning illustration captures the essence of the Jack Snipe's elusive and mysterious nature, transporting us back to a time when the natural world was a source of wonder and fascination. The intricate details of the hand-colouring and the meticulous attention to detail in the illustration make it a true masterpiece of 19th-century ornithological art.
