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, created by Albert Massard after an illustration by Jean-Gabriel Pretre, showcases a captivating underwater scene featuring three intriguing marine species: the Mauritius triggerfish (Rhinecanthus cinereus), unicorn leatherjacket (Aluterus monoceros), and planehead filefish (Stephanolepis hispidus). The Mauritius triggerfish, also known as the cendré herisse or baliste cendrée, is a vibrant, angular fish with a distinctive black and white pattern. Its large pectoral fins help it maneuver through the water with ease, while its trigger-like spines on its dorsal and anal fins serve as a defense mechanism. The unicorn leatherjacket, or monoceros, is a small, elongated fish with a unique, horn-like projection on its head. This enigmatic creature is also known as the unicorn triggerfish, but it is not actually related to the triggerfish family. Its body is covered in small, overlapping scales, and it sports a striking, mottled coloration. The planehead filefish, or hispid filefish, is a small, flatfish with a distinctive, rough texture on its head and body. Its coloration varies from brown to gray, with darker spots and stripes. The planehead filefish is an excellent camouflage artist, blending seamlessly into its rocky surroundings. This stunning engraving, taken from Bernard Germain de Lacepède's Natural History of Oviparous Quadrupeds, Snakes, Fish and Cetaceans, published in Paris in 1825, offers a glimpse into the rich marine biodiversity of Mauritius and the Indian Ocean during the early 19th century. The intricate details of the illustration and the vibrant colors of the engraving make it a true masterpiece of natural history art.
