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
John Reeves' LS Plate 175: A Stunning Nineteenth Century Illustration of a Spotted Fin Fish from Canton, China John Reeves, a renowned tea inspector of the British East India Company, embarked on an extraordinary journey to Canton, China in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. During his stay, he amassed an impressive collection of Chinese natural history drawings, which is now known as the John Reeves Collection. This collection, housed in the Natural History Museum in London, is a testament to Reeves' passion for documenting the rich biodiversity of Asia. LS Plate 175 from the John Reeves Collection is a captivating illustration of a Spotted Fin Fish (Channa guttata), a common species found in the rivers and ponds of Asia. The fish is depicted in exquisite detail, with its silver scales shimmering against the dark background, and its distinctive brown spots adding texture and depth to the image. The artist's skillful use of shading and perspective creates a three-dimensional effect, making the fish appear lifelike and vibrant. The Spotted Fin Fish is a popular species in Asian aquariums and is also an important food source for local communities. This illustration provides a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating species, which was of great interest to Reeves and his contemporaries. The intricate details and accurate representation of the fish's anatomy make this a valuable addition to the John Reeves Collection and a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the 19th century.
