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 hand-colored copperplate engraving, taken from Rene Primevere's "Lessons Complements de Buffon," showcases two fascinating waterbirds of the Old World and the New: the Magpie Goose (Anseranas semipalmata) and the Crested Auklet (Aethia cristatella). The Magpie Goose, also known as the Australian Magpie Goose or the Brolga, is a large, elegant bird native to the wetlands of Australia and New Guinea. With its striking black and white plumage, long legs, and distinctive "magpie-like" head, it is a captivating sight. The Magpie Goose is an omnivore, feeding on a variety of vegetation, seeds, and aquatic organisms. The Crested Auklet, on the other hand, is a small, penguin-like seabird native to the North Pacific Ocean. It is characterized by its black and white plumage, distinctive crest, and webbed feet. The Crested Auklet is an expert swimmer and diver, feeding primarily on fish and crustaceans. This beautiful illustration, produced by the renowned French publishing house Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1838, is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the time. The intricate engraving and delicate hand-coloring bring the Magpie Goose and Crested Auklet to life, allowing us to appreciate their unique beauty and natural history. The "Lessons Complements de Buffon" was a comprehensive work on zoology, natural history, and ornithology, published in response to the groundbreaking "Histoire Naturelle, Générale et Particulière" by Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon. The work was intended to complement and expand upon Buffon's seminal work, providing a detailed record of the natural world and advancing scientific knowledge of the time.
