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 stunning handcoloured lithograph, taken from John O. Westwood's new edition of Dru Drury's Illustrations of Exotic Entomology, published by Bohn in London in 1837, showcases six different species of butterflies: the Blue Admiral, Kaniska canace (1 and 2), the Rustic Butterfly, Cupha erymanthis (3 and 4), and the Common Evening Brown, Melanitis leda (5 and 6). The intricate details of these beautiful insects are expertly captured in this 19th-century artwork. The Blue Admiral, with its vibrant blue wings adorned with black borders and white spots, is a sight to behold. The Rustic Butterfly, with its orange and black wings, is easily recognizable with its distinctive white spots on the underside of its wings. The Common Evening Brown, with its large wingspans and striking brown and orange wings, is another captivating species. The ventral side of the Blue Admiral (1) and Rustic Butterfly (3) are also depicted, providing a closer look at their intricately patterned abdomens. The dorsal side of the Common Evening Brown (5) is shown, revealing its striking wing patterns. This lithograph is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the Lepidoptera order, and a reminder of the natural wonders that were being discovered and documented during the 19th century. The handcoloured technique adds an extra layer of detail and depth to the already impressive illustrations, making this a truly remarkable piece of scientific and artistic history.
