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 depicts the Chamois, Rupicapra rupicapra, also known as the Alpine Chamois or Antelope Chamois. The Chamois is a medium-sized ruminant native to the European Alps and the Carpathian Mountains. This elegant and agile animal is well adapted to living in rugged and steep terrain, with a coat that provides excellent camouflage against the rocky backdrop. The Chamois is a herbivorous species, feeding on a variety of vegetation including grasses, leaves, and shoots. They are known for their remarkable agility and can leap great distances and climb steep cliffs with ease. They are also excellent swimmers and can cross rivers and lakes with ease. This engraving is from Edward Griffiths' The Animal Kingdom by the Baron Cuvier, published in London by Whittaker in 1827. The work is considered a seminal work in the field of natural history and zoology, and this particular plate is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the time. The hand-coloring adds an additional layer of beauty and realism to the image, making it a valuable and captivating addition to any collection of natural history prints. The Chamois is an iconic species of the European Alps and continues to be a popular subject in art and literature. Today, they are considered a success story of conservation efforts, with populations stabilizing and even increasing in some areas. This engraving serves as a reminder of the natural wonders that can be found in the mountains and the importance of preserving these precious ecosystems for future generations.
