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 detail of a feather from the Great Argus (Argusianus argus) is a captivating glimpse into the intricate beauty of this magnificent bird. The Great Argus, also known as the Rajah Brooke's Pheasant, is a native of the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. Known for its iridescent plumage and elaborate courtship displays, it is considered one of the most beautiful pheasants in the world. This particular feather, now preserved in the Natural History Museum at Tring, offers a tantalizing peek into the bird's opulent appearance. The intricate patterns and shimmering colors, which change depending on the angle of light, are a testament to the natural world's boundless creativity. The feather's quill, once attached to the bird, would have been used for display during mating rituals, adding an extra layer of allure to the Great Argus' already impressive appearance. The Great Argus is a member of the Phasianidae family, which includes pheasants, quails, and grouses. It is classified under the order Galliformes, which also includes turkeys, quails, and chickens. The Sauropsida class, to which the Great Argus belongs, includes all reptiles and birds. This stunning detail was likely captured in a studio setting, allowing for a close-up view of the feather's intricacies. The image is a reminder of the importance of preserving and studying the natural world, and the Natural History Museum at Tring, with its extensive collection of specimens, plays a vital role in this endeavor. The Great Argus, with its resplendent plumage and captivating display, continues to inspire awe and wonder, making it a beloved subject for natural history enthusiasts and artists alike.
