17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 handcoloured lithograph, taken from John O. Westwood's new edition of Dru Drury's Illustrations of Exotic Entomology, published by Bohn in London in 1837, showcases four exquisite species of Neotropical butterflies: the Tree-nymph, Idea lynceus (Idaea lyncea), the Large Smoky Acraea, Acraea camaena, and the Glasswing, Ithomia drymo (Heliconia diaphana). The Tree-nymph, also known as the Blue-spotted Tree-nymph, is a medium-sized butterfly with a wingspan of approximately 7.5 centimeters. Its wings are adorned with intricate patterns of blue, green, and white, with a striking black border. The Large Smoky Acraea, on the other hand, is a much larger butterfly, with a wingspan of up to 12 centimeters. Its wings are predominantly brown with smoky gray markings, giving it a distinctive and camouflaged appearance. The Glasswing, or the Blue-eyed Glasswing, is a small butterfly with a wingspan of around 5 centimeters. It is named for its transparent wings, which are almost invisible when the butterfly is at rest. The wings of the Glasswing are also adorned with iridescent blue spots on the edges. This stunning lithograph not only showcases the beauty of these butterflies but also provides a glimpse into the natural history of the Neotropical region during the 19th century. The meticulous attention to detail in the handcolouring highlights the intricacies of the butterflies' wings and adds to the overall allure of this image.
