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 drawing, published in the 1949 edition of "Drawing at the Zoo," showcases the unique and intriguing okapi, a native mammal of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in central Africa. The okapi, which is most closely related to the giraffe, is depicted in this image as it gracefully chews leaves from a tree branch. The okapi's distinctive striped pattern, which is more apparent on its hindquarters, is on full display in this illustration. The okapi was first discovered by European explorers in 1901 and was initially believed to be a hybrid between a zebra and a giraffe due to its striped pattern. However, it was later determined that the okapi was a distinct species. This drawing provides a historical glimpse into the early days of okapi discovery and documentation. The okapi is a forest-dwelling animal and is rarely seen in the wild due to its elusive nature. It is primarily herbivorous, feeding on a variety of vegetation, including leaves, shoots, and fruits. The okapi's long, prehensile tongue allows it to reach high branches to access foliage, as seen in this illustration. This beautiful drawing not only showcases the okapi's unique features but also highlights the artist's skill in capturing the animal's grace and elegance. The use of shading and attention to detail adds depth and texture to the illustration, making it a true work of art. Overall, this image provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of the okapi and the early days of its discovery and documentation.
