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 handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the vibrant and captivating Red-billed Blue Magpie (Urocissa erythrorhyncha), a mesmerizing bird species native to Southeast Asia. The engraving, taken from George Shaw and Frederick Nodder's The Naturalist's Miscellany, published in 1792, is an exquisite example of the intricate detail and artistry of 18th-century zoological illustrations. The Red-billed Blue Magpie, also known as the Asian Blue-naped Magpie, is characterized by its iridescent blue and green plumage, a striking contrast to its bright red beak and legs. This bird is a resident of the Indian subcontinent, southern China, and Southeast Asia, and is known for its intelligence and distinctive call. The engraving reveals the meticulous attention to detail that was characteristic of the natural history illustrations of the time. Each feather, beak, and leg is rendered with remarkable precision, showcasing the skill of the engraver. The use of handcoloring further enhances the image, adding depth and vibrancy to the already stunning engraving. The Naturalist's Miscellany was a popular publication during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, providing a platform for the dissemination of new scientific discoveries and knowledge. Shaw and Nodder's contributions to the publication were particularly noteworthy, as they were among the first to describe and illustrate many newly discovered species. This Red-billed Blue Magpie engraving is not only a beautiful work of art but also an important historical document, providing a glimpse into the natural history of a fascinating species and the scientific discoveries of the past.
