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 hand-colored lithograph, taken from Carl Hoffmann's "Book of the World," published in Stuttgart in 1849, showcases the raw power and grace of nature as a cheetah, the fastest land animal on Earth, hunts its prey. The cheetah, scientifically known as Acinonyx jubatus, is a vulnerable species native to Africa. In this image, we see the cheetah in its prime, with its distinctive spotted coat and long, slender body, as it prepares to pounce on a group of gazelles and black-faced impalas. The gazelles, represented by the dorcas gazelle (Gazella dorcas), are also a vulnerable species, known for their agility and speed. The black-faced impala (Aepyceros melampus) is a smaller antelope with distinctive markings on its face, making it easily recognizable. The European influence is evident in the image, as the scene is depicted through the lens of European explorers and naturalists. The use of hand-coloring adds a vibrant and detailed quality to the lithograph, making it an educational and visually stunning piece. The cheetah's hunt is a natural and essential part of the ecosystem, but it is also a reminder of the vulnerability of these magnificent animals and their prey. The cheetah population has been declining due to habitat loss, fragmentation, and human-wildlife conflict. Conservation efforts are underway to protect these animals and their habitats, ensuring that future generations can marvel at the beauty and power of nature's most incredible hunters.
