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
This handcoloured lithograph showcases two strikingly beautiful and intellectually renowned parrot species: the African Grey Parrot (Psittacus erithacus) and the Green Parakeet (Psittacara holochlora). The African Grey Parrot, native to the forests of Central and West Africa, is renowned for its remarkable intelligence and ability to mimic human speech. With its distinctive grey feathers, this parrot is a popular choice among bird enthusiasts and researchers. The Green Parakeet, native to South America, is easily identified by its vibrant green plumage and red tail feathers. This social and agile bird is often found in large flocks and is known for its ability to fly at high speeds and perform acrobatic maneuvers in the air. This exquisite print is taken from Th. Lejeune's Complete Works of Buffon, a comprehensive ornithological publication produced in Brussels in 1837. The detailed illustration accurately captures the unique features of both parrot species, making it an invaluable resource for avian studies and a stunning addition to any collection. The handcolouring adds an extra layer of beauty and depth to the intricate lithograph, highlighting the intricacies of each bird's feathers and anatomy. The African Grey Parrot and Green Parakeet are not only visually striking but also hold significant cultural and scientific importance. Their inclusion in Buffon's Complete Works serves as a testament to their historical significance and the importance of ornithology in the scientific community. This print is a must-have for bird enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone with an appreciation for the natural world and the beauty it holds.
