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 36" from Archibald Thorburn's second edition of "British Birds, Vol. 1," published in 1925, features a captivating image of three distinct species of swallows: Riparia riparia (Ripple Martin or Barn Swallow), Hirundo rustica (Common House Martin), and Delichon urbicum (Collared Sand Martin) perched on a barn. The birds are depicted in stunning detail, showcasing their unique anatomical features. The Barn Swallow, with its distinctive blue back and brown belly, is shown on the far left, its face turned towards the viewer, revealing its long, pointed beak and red collar. The Common House Martin, in the middle, is shown with a white belly and chest, contrasting with its brown back and wings. Its face is turned away, revealing a white patch under its chin, known as a bib. The Collared Sand Martin, on the right, is shown with a sandy-brown back and wings, and a white belly and collar. Its face is turned towards the Barn Swallow, as if in conversation. The image captures the birds in their natural habitat, a barn, during daytime hours. Archibald Thorburn's masterful illustration showcases the beauty and diversity of these birds, which belong to the order Aves, and the families Hirundinidae (swallows) and Delichonidae (sand martins). The 19th-century artist's attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of these birds in their natural setting make this plate a must-see for ornithology enthusiasts and art lovers alike. The image is a testament to Thorburn's skill as a natural history illustrator and his dedication to documenting the natural world. It is a reminder of the rich biodiversity that exists in our world and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
