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 print showcases the Regal Wren, an enigmatic bird species native to South America, specifically in the Buenos Aires region. Discovered and named by the renowned naturalist Don Félix de Azara in the late 18th century, this wren was affectionately referred to as "le Roi" or "the King" due to its striking appearance and regal demeanor. The print, drawn and engraved by the accomplished English ornithologist John Latham, is an exquisite example of the meticulous craftsmanship that characterized the scientific illustrations of the time. Latham's "A General History of Birds," published in Winchester in 1823, was a groundbreaking work that showcased the natural history of a vast array of avian species, including the elusive Regal Wren. The Regal Wren is an unknown species, and its taxonomic classification remains a subject of ongoing research in the field of ornithology. This print offers a rare glimpse into the natural world of over two centuries ago, providing a window into the past and a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world that continues to inspire and captivate us today. The intricate details of the Regal Wren's plumage, beak, and other physical features are rendered with remarkable accuracy and artistry, making this print a valuable addition to any collection of historical natural history or ornithological works. The rich colors and fine lines of the hand-coloring add depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the bird to life and allowing us to appreciate its unique beauty in all its glory.
