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 image showcases two depictions of the enigmatic and extinct Dodo (Raphus cucullatus), one from the Scotch House in Veere, Netherlands, dated 1561, and the other from the Florence Codex, Italy, circa 1703. The Dodo, a flightless bird native to the Indian Ocean islands, was discovered by European explorers in the late 15th century and quickly became a subject of fascination due to its unusual appearance and size. The Dodo from the Scotch House, Veere, is depicted in a detailed heliotype print from Dr. Anthonie Cornelis Oudemans' seminal work, "Dodo Studies," published in Amsterdam by Johannes Muller in 1917. This print, created by Van Leer, offers a lifelike representation of the Dodo's distinctive features, including its large, round body, small wings, and disproportionately large head. The Dodo from the Florence Codex, on the other hand, is shown in a more stylized and artistic manner, reflecting the changing perceptions and interpretations of the bird over time. This print, too, is part of the extensive collection of Dodo studies compiled by Dr. Oudemans, a renowned Dutch ornithologist who dedicated his career to the study of this fascinating and now-extinct species. Together, these two images offer a unique glimpse into the history of the Dodo, its discovery, and the evolving understanding of this remarkable bird. The Dodo, once a symbol of the wonders of the New World, now serves as a reminder of the fragility of nature and the importance of preserving and studying the natural world for future generations.
