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.

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 handcolored copperplate engraving, taken from Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelms Encyclopedia of Natural History: Fish, published in Augsburg in 1804, showcases a scene along the Danube River teeming with aquatic life and the art of angling. The image features two prominent fish species native to the Danube: the Danube salmon (Hucho hucho) and the whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus). The Danube salmon, depicted in the foreground, is a large, powerful fish with a distinctive silver color and black spots. Once abundant in the Danube and its tributaries, this species is now considered endangered due to habitat loss, pollution, and overfishing. The whitefish, shown in the background, is a smaller, round-bodied fish with a white belly and dark spots. This species is still relatively common in the Danube and its tributaries. The scene also showcases fishermen in traditional boats, using rod and line to catch their prized catches. The serene river setting, with its gentle current and lush vegetation, creates a picturesque tableau of the natural world and the human connection to it. The engraving was created by Jacob Nilson, a skilled artist and naturalist, under the direction of the Bavarian clergyman and naturalist, Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm. Wilhelm, known as the German Buffon, was a prolific writer and compiler of natural history texts, and his encyclopedia of fish remains an important resource for ichthyology and marine biology studies. This enchanting image not only captures the beauty and diversity of the Danube River's fish population but also highlights the rich cultural history of fishing in Europe.
