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
Plate 32 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 3 (1873) showcases the House Sparrow (Passer domesticus), a common bird species found in Europe, Asia, and North America. This hand-coloured lithograph captures the intricate details of this bird's anatomy, from its distinctive brown and grey plumage to the long, pointed wings and the distinctive mask-like markings on its face. The House Sparrow is often seen perched on the branches of trees or on the rafters of houses, making it a familiar sight in many urban and suburban environments. The image depicts a family of House Sparrows, with an adult bird feeding a chick from its beak. The chick, with its downy feathers and open mouth, is nestled in a cozy nest made of twigs and grass, cradled in the protective embrace of the parent bird. The anatomy of the bird is depicted with remarkable accuracy, from the long, curved beak to the brown bib that extends from the throat to the belly. This beautiful illustration, produced during the 19th century, is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the time. The intricate details and vibrant colours bring the House Sparrow to life, transporting us back to a time when the natural world was a source of endless fascination and wonder. Whether you're an ornithologist, a natural history enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the natural world, this illustration is sure to captivate and inspire you.
