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 illustration, titled "Macropus giganteus, or Kangaroo of New Holland, with Xanthorrhoea s, a Gum-plant," is a stunning 18th-century drawing by the renowned English naturalist and artist, George Raper. Dated 1789, this exquisite work of art is part of the Jackson Collection, which showcases the natural wonders of the Australian continent that were just beginning to be explored and documented during this period. The illustration features the majestic Eastern Gray Kangaroo (Macropus giganteus), the largest living marsupial species, standing gracefully amidst a grove of Xanthorrhoea s, commonly known as grass trees or gum-plants. The kangaroo's powerful hind legs are poised for a leap, while its long, muscular tail provides balance and support. The Eastern Gray Kangaroo is a herbivore, feeding primarily on grasses, leaves, and flowers, making the presence of the Xanthorrhoea s an appropriate backdrop. The Xanthorrhoea s, an angiosperm belonging to the family Dianellaceae and the order Asparagales, is a distinctive flowering plant native to Australia. Its tall, grass-like leaves form a rosette at the base, with a central stem topped by a spike of yellow or green flowers. These plants are often referred to as 'grasstrees' or 'gum-trees' due to their hard, resinous sap, which was used by the Aboriginal people for various purposes. Raper's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the Australian landscape and its unique inhabitants make this illustration a valuable historical document and an enduring work of art. The Eastern Gray Kangaroo and Xanthorrhoea s are symbolic of the rich biodiversity that exists in the Australasian region, a testament to the natural wonders that continue to inspire and captivate us today.
