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 exquisitely hand-colored copperplate engraving, taken from Rene Primevere's "Lessons Complements de Buffon" published by Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1838, showcases two intriguing and distinctly colored coucal species: the Pied Coucal (Centropus ateralbus) and the Violet Coucal, also known as the Violaceous Coucal (Centropus violaceus). The Pied Coucal, with its black and white plumage, is depicted on the left side of the image. This bird, native to Africa, is characterized by its distinctive black and white plumage, with a white neck and underparts, and black back, wings, and tail. The Pied Coucal is a cuckoo, meaning it lays its eggs in the nests of other birds, and feeds mainly on insects and reptiles. On the right side of the image, the Violet Coucal, or Violaceous Coucal, is depicted. This bird, native to Africa and Asia, is known for its striking violet-blue sheen, with a white neck and underparts, and a violet-blue back, wings, and tail. The Violet Coucal is also a cuckoo, and its diet consists mainly of insects and reptiles. The intricate details of these birds are beautifully captured in this hand-colored copperplate engraving, providing a glimpse into the natural history and ornithology of the 19th century. The engraving is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the time, and serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity of the world's avian population.
