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
A Fascinating Encounter: Common Adder and Ringed Snake (1843) This image, dated 1843, showcases a rare and intriguing encounter between two native British reptile species - the Common Adder (Vipera berus) and the Ringed Snake (Natrix natrix). The photograph, taken in the early Victorian era, offers a glimpse into the natural world of the 1840s. The Common Adder, also known as the European Viper, is a venomous snake species native to Europe. It is characterized by its distinctive zigzag pattern of dark brown or black spots on a yellow or orange background. The snake in the foreground of the image is an example of this striking and beautiful species. The Ringed Snake, on the other hand, is a non-venomous snake species commonly found throughout Europe and Asia. It derives its name from the series of dark rings that encircle its body. In this photograph, the Ringed Snake can be seen coiled around the Common Adder, possibly in a defensive or predatory stance. The presence of these two species together in the same image is a testament to the rich biodiversity of the natural world during the Victorian era. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving and studying the various species of reptiles and other creatures that inhabit our planet. This photograph, with its intricate details and vivid colors, invites us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of nature. It is a valuable historical record of the natural history of Europe and a testament to the enduring fascination that reptiles hold for us, even today.
