FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 11 from William MacGillivray's Watercolour Drawings of British Animals (1831-1841) features a captivating image of the European Honey Buzzard, Pernis apivorus, perched majestically on a gnarled branch. This bird of prey, a member of the Accipitridae family and the Accipitriformes order, is depicted with its sharp, hooked beak open slightly, revealing the distinctive yellow tip. The European Honey Buzzard is a master of daytime hunting, using its keen eyesight and agility to locate honeybees and wasps, which it catches in mid-air or on the ground. MacGillivray's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate anatomy of the bird's brown, feathered body and the textured bark of the branch. The European Honey Buzzard's powerful, brown feet, with their distinctive scutellate (shield-shaped) talons, are also clearly visible, adding to the overall sense of strength and grace. This nineteenth-century illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of the European Honey Buzzard, a bird that continues to fascinate ornithologists and nature enthusiasts alike. The image invites us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of this bird of prey, as well as the intricacies of the natural world that surrounds us. MacGillivray's Watercolour Drawings of British Animals is an important historical record of the natural history of Britain during the 19th century, and this image of the European Honey Buzzard is a testament to the artist's skill and dedication to accurately capturing the natural world.
