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
LS Plate 151: A Stunning 19th Century Illustration of a Lionfish from the John Reeves Collection This exquisite print showcases a lionfish (Pterois volitans), one of the most iconic and intriguing marine creatures from the waters of the Indo-Pacific region. The illustration is part of the extensive John Reeves Collection, which was compiled during the 19th century by the British tea inspector and naturalist, John Reeves, during his travels to Canton, China. Reeves' collection is renowned for its high-quality and detailed depictions of Asian flora and fauna, including a vast array of fish species. This particular illustration, LS Plate 151, is a testament to the skill and accuracy of the Chinese artists who worked under Reeves' direction. The lionfish is a bony fish, belonging to the order Scorpaeniformes and the family Scorpaenidae. Its distinctive features include its long, venomous spines, elongated pectoral and dorsal fins, and vibrant colors. The fish's body is adorned with a pattern of alternating bands of white, yellow, and red, making it a striking sight in its natural habitat. The illustration captures the fish's unique features in meticulous detail, with each scale, fin ray, and spine rendered with precision. The artist has also captured the fish's expressive eyes and the subtle shading that adds depth and texture to the illustration. This print is a valuable addition to any collection of natural history art, offering a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the Asian waters during the 19th century. The John Reeves Collection continues to inspire and fascinate researchers, naturalists, and art enthusiasts alike, providing a window into the natural world of a bygone era.
