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 stunning 1862 print captures the vibrant colors and intricate details of a Pagellus Owenii, or Spanish Bream, a beloved marine species of the Mediterranean Sea. The fish, also known as the Axillary Bream or the Orange-spotted Bream, is depicted in its natural habitat, surrounded by the clear, azure waters of the Victorian era. The Spanish Bream is a popular and important food fish in the Mediterranean region, with a rich, delicate flavor and firm, white flesh. This species, which can grow up to 50 cm in length, is a valuable component of the Mediterranean marine ecosystem and has been a staple of local fisheries for centuries. This exquisite print, created in 1862, offers a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating fish. The artist meticulously captured the details of the Spanish Bream's orange and yellow fins, its distinctive spots, and its expressive eyes. The print also provides a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the marine life of the 1860s and the scientific curiosity that drove naturalists and artists to document the natural world during this era. The Spanish Bream continues to be an important species in the Mediterranean Sea, and this print serves as a reminder of the beauty and importance of the marine ecosystem and the natural world. It also highlights the rich history of natural history illustration and the role it plays in documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations.
