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 handcolored copperplate stipple engraving, titled "Pied Currawong (Strepera graculina) and Cinereous Becard (Pachyramphus rufus)," is a stunning example of naturalistic ornithological illustration from Dumont de Sainte-Croix's Dictionary of Natural Science: Ornithology, published in Paris, France between 1816 and 1830. The illustration was created by the skilled hand of painter Jean Gabriel Pretre (1780-1845), who was employed as a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo and later became the artist to the Museum of Natural History. The intricate detail of the engraving, executed by Guyard under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin and published by F.G. Levrault, showcases the Pied Currawong and Cinereous Becard in their natural habitats. The Currawong, a native Australian bird, is depicted perched on a branch with its distinctive pied plumage and curved beak, while the Cinereous Becard, a South American bird, is shown in flight with its cinereous (ash-gray) plumage and long, decurved beak. The use of the stipple engraving technique, which involves the application of small dots of ink to create shading and texture, adds to the lifelike quality of the illustration. The handcoloring further enhances the vibrancy and realism of the birds' plumage, making this a truly captivating work of art and an invaluable addition to any collection of natural history or ornithological prints.
