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 exquisite image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, Plate 615, featuring the Belted Beauty butterfly, scientifically known as Nyssia zonaria subspecies britannica (previously classified as Lycia zonaria). The butterfly can be seen gracefully perched on the leaves of Veronica hederifolia, commonly known as Ivy-leaved Speedwell. The plate, which dates back to the 1820s and 1830s, was produced during the 19th century by the renowned English botanist and entomologist, John Curtis (FLS). The Belted Beauty is a member of the Lepidoptera family, which includes moths and butterflies. This particular subspecies is native to the British Isles and is characterized by its distinctive black and orange belt-like markings across its wings. The Ivy-leaved Speedwell is a low-growing plant that is commonly found in damp areas, making it an ideal host plant for the Belted Beauty's larvae. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich natural history of Britain during the 19th century. The intricate detail and precision of the illustration are a testament to the dedication and expertise of John Curtis and his team. The combination of the Belted Beauty and the Ivy-leaved Speedwell creates a stunning visual representation of the delicate balance between insects and their plant hosts in the natural world.
