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 hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases two exquisite pheasants native to Nepal: the Nepal Koklass Pheasant (Pucrasia macrolopha nipalensis) and the Western Tragopan (Tragopan melanocephalus). The intricate detailing of this illustration, taken from René Primevere's "Lessons Complements de Buffon," published by Pourrat Frères in Paris in 1838, provides an extraordinary glimpse into the natural history of these birds. The Nepal Koklass Pheasant, also known as the Himalayan Monal, is a large and majestic bird with a striking appearance. The male sports a vibrant, iridescent green body, a long, flowing tail, and a distinctive red face mask. The female, on the other hand, has a more subdued appearance, with a brown body and a shorter tail. The Western Tragopan, also known as the horned tragopan, is another stunning bird endemic to the Himalayas. The male is easily recognizable by its distinctive black and white plumage, with a bright red face, blue wattles, and a pair of large, curved horns on its head. The female, however, is much more cryptically colored, with a brown body and a speckled pattern on her back. Both of these birds are important symbols of Nepalese culture and are considered national treasures. The Nepal Koklass Pheasant is the national bird of Nepal, while the Western Tragopan is the mascot of the Nepal Army. These birds are also of great scientific interest due to their unique adaptations to the harsh Himalayan environment. This beautiful and intricately detailed engraving not only serves as a testament to the skill of the engraver but also highlights the importance of preserving the rich biodiversity of Nepal and the Himalayas. It is a reminder of the beauty and wonder that can be found in the natural world and the importance of protecting it for future generations.
