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
Plate 52: Ptilinopus insolitus, the Knob-billed Fruit Dove, gracefully perches on the gargantuan branches of a Bombax ceiba tree in this exquisite watercolor illustration from the John Reeves Collection of Zoological Drawings from Canton, China. Painted in the 19th century, this image showcases the intricate details of the avian's anatomy, with its distinctive knobbed beak, grey plumage, and webbed feet. The Knob-billed Fruit Dove is a native of Asia, belonging to the Columbidae family, which includes doves and pigeons. The dove is named for its unusual beak, which is used to crack open hard-shelled fruits. In this illustration, the bird is shown in its natural habitat, surrounded by lush, vibrant flowers of the Bombax ceiba tree, a flowering plant in the Malvaceae family. The Knob-billed Fruit Dove is an important seed disperser for the Bombax ceiba tree, playing a crucial role in the plant's propagation. This stunning watercolor not only highlights the beauty of the Knob-billed Fruit Dove but also underscores the intricate relationship between birds and the angiosperms they help to pollinate and disperse.
