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 engraving, created by the widow Fournier after an original illustration by Edouard Travies for Charles d'Orbigny's Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle (Universal Dictionary of Natural History), published in Paris in 1849, showcases three intriguing wading birds: the Pied Avocet (Recurvirostra avosetta), the Ruff (Philomachus pugnax), and the Pied Avocet or Red-legged Avocet (Recurvirostra pidifera). The Pied Avocet, with its distinctive upturned bill, is a resident of wetlands in Europe, Africa, and Asia. Its slender, black-and-white legs contrast sharply with its chestnut-colored body and blue-gray wings. The Ruff, a medium-sized wader, is characterized by its orange-brown plumage, black and white striped head, and long, red legs. This bird is found in Europe, Asia, and Africa, primarily in damp grasslands and marshes. The third bird in this enchanting tableau is the Ruff, a wading bird with a striking appearance. Its plumage is predominantly orange-brown, with black and white stripes on its head and a long, red bill. The Ruff is native to Europe, Asia, and Africa, and can be found in damp grasslands and marshes. The intricate details of these birds' plumage, beaks, and legs are beautifully rendered in this exquisite hand-colored engraving, offering a fascinating glimpse into the natural world of the mid-19th century. The skillful use of color further enhances the birds' natural beauty, making this a truly captivating work of art.
