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
Plate 30 of the Zoologie Atlas, published in 1826 as part of the Voyage de la Coquille (1822-1825) by Louis-Isidore Duperrey, features a stunning illustration of a Chaetodon sp. butterflyfish. This exquisitely detailed Victorian-era print showcases the vibrant colors and intricate patterns of this beautiful marine creature. The Chaetodon sp. butterflyfish is identified by its elongated, compressed body, distinctive mask-like markings around its eyes, and a dorsal fin that resembles wings, earning it the name "butterflyfish." Its body is adorned with bold, horizontal blue and yellow stripes, adding to its allure. The lower fish labeled in the illustration as Holocanthus is likely a different species, as Holocanthus is a genus of tangs, not butterflyfish. However, the inclusion of both species in the same plate highlights the rich diversity of marine life discovered during Duperrey's voyage. Duperrey's illustration is a testament to the meticulous work of the nineteenth-century naturalist and artist community. The anatomically accurate depiction of the fish's gills, fins, and skeletal structure demonstrates the advanced knowledge of the time regarding the anatomy of bony fish, or Actinopterygii, and ray-finned fish, or Perciformes. As members of the Chaetodontidae family, Chaetodon butterflyfish are characterized as perciformes, osteichthyes, and chaetodontids. Their coloration serves as excellent camouflage, allowing them to blend in with their surroundings and protect themselves from predators. This print, with its rich history and scientific significance, remains a testament to the beauty and diversity of the underwater world and the curiosity of those who explore it.
