17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
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
This stunningly detailed and vibrant etching is taken from Volume 1 of The Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands by the renowned English naturalist, Mark Catesby. Depicted in the image is a plate featuring an intricately illustrated beetle, a member of the Coleoptera order, perched on the head of a bird from the Aves order. The beetle, with its elongated, curved beak-like structure, appears to be feeding on the bird's head, making for an intriguing and unusual interaction between two distinct species. Catesby's meticulous attention to anatomy and naturalistic detail is evident in the intricate rendering of both the beetle's hexapod body structure and the bird's feathers and features. The plate is a testament to the artist's skill and dedication to accurately documenting the natural world of the 18th century. The Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands was published between 1731 and 1747, making it an invaluable historical record of the flora and fauna of the region during that time. Catesby's work was groundbreaking in its use of color in natural history illustrations, and his innovative techniques influenced the field for generations to come. This plate, with its rich history and exquisite detail, is a must-have for any collection focused on natural history, 18th century art, or the works of Mark Catesby. The intriguing interaction between the beetle and bird adds an element of surprise and intrigue, making it a fascinating addition to any display or study.
