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
This exquisitely hand-colored steel engraving depicts an African Collared-Dove (Streptopelia roseogrisea risoria, also known as Turtur risorius), with a distinctive ringed band around its neck. The dove is shown perched on a branch against a lush, green background. The intricate details of the dove's feathers and the delicate shading in the engraving bring the bird to life, making it a beautiful addition to any natural history collection. The African Collared-Dove is native to Africa and is a member of the pigeon family. It is characterized by the distinctive black and white collar around its neck, which helps to distinguish it from other dove species. The dove is a ground-feeder and feeds on seeds, fruits, and insects. It is a social bird and forms monogamous pairs that stay together for life. This engraving was created by Edward Lear, a renowned English artist, illustrator, and author, based on a specimen from Georg Friedrich Treitschke's Gallery of Natural History in Leipzig, Germany. The gallery, known as the Naturhistorischer Bildersaal des Thierreiches, was a significant center for the study of natural history in the 19th century. The engraving is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and the high-quality standards of the gallery during that time. The African Collared-Dove is a fascinating and beautiful bird, and this hand-colored steel engraving is an excellent representation of its natural beauty. It is a valuable addition to any natural history collection and a reminder of the rich biodiversity of Africa.
