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 handcolored engraving, created by Annedouche after a drawing by Edouard Travies, showcases three distinctive and fascinating seabirds: the Puffin (Fratercula arctica), the Razorbill (Alca torda), and the King Penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus). Originally published in Richards New Edition of the Complete Works of Comte de Buffon by Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1837, this engraving is a testament to the intricate detail and artistry of the time. The Puffin, with its distinctive black and white plumage and colorful beak, is a common seabird found in the North Atlantic Ocean. They are known for their distinctive 'puffing' behavior when they return to their burrows to feed their young. The Razorbill, also known as the 'bearded seal-bird,' can be found in the North Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans. They are characterized by their black and white plumage and their distinctive, sharp, and hooked beak, which they use to forage for food on the ocean floor. The majestic King Penguin, native to the Southern Hemisphere, is the second largest of all penguin species. They are easily recognizable by their tall stature and their black and white plumage. This engraving beautifully captures the regal bearing and elegant posture of this magnificent bird. This intricately handcolored engraving is a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into the ornithological research and artistic skills of the 19th century. It offers a fascinating insight into the natural world and the passion for discovery that drove scientists and artists of the time to document and preserve the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
