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 hand-colored engraving, created by Fournier after an original illustration by Edouard Travies for Charles d'Orbigny's Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle (Universal Dictionary of Natural History) published in Paris in 1849, showcases two intriguing waterbirds: the Black-headed Gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) and the Black Skimmer (Rynchops niger). The Black-headed Gull, also known as the laughing gull, is a medium-sized seagull with distinctive black head and neck contrasting against its white body. Its bill is yellow with a red tip, and its legs and feet are pink. This gull is a common sight in the coastal areas of the North Atlantic and Mediterranean. The Black Skimmer (Rynchops niger), on the other hand, is a unique bird with a long, slender, and distinctively shaped bill. This bill is longer than the length of its head, and its lower mandible is longer than the upper one. The Black Skimmer is a wading bird that feeds by skimming the surface of the water with its bill, catching prey such as fish and shrimp. Both birds are depicted in their natural habitats, with the Black-headed Gull perched on a rocky outcrop and the Black Skimmer shown in flight, its bill skimming the water's surface. The intricate details of their plumage and the vibrant colors of the engraving bring these birds to life, making this a beautiful and educational piece of natural history art.
