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
from "The Life and Habits of Wild Animals," a stunning 19th century illustration by the renowned artist Joseph Wolf, captures the raw power and intensity of a confrontation between two majestic rivals: a brown bear and a bison. Dating back to 1874, this image transports us back in time to the Victorian era, offering a glimpse into the natural world as it was then understood. The plate showcases the impressive size and strength of both animals. The bear, a member of the Ursidae family and the largest of the extant bears, towers over the bison, a powerful bovid and a member of the Bovidae family. The bison, with its massive hump and curved horns, stands its ground, ready to defend itself against the bear's attack. This illustration is a testament to the natural history of the day, documenting the daytime battles between these two powerful animals. The epithermal mammals, both placental and eutherian, represent two distinct branches of the Mammalia class: the Ursidae, or bear, and the Bovidae, or bovid. These animals, along with the rest of the Artiodactyla order, are part of the larger Theria group, which includes both placental and marsupial mammals. The intricate details in this illustration, from the individual hairs on the bears' coats to the textures of the bison's hide, bring these animals to life, offering a glimpse into their natural habitats and behaviors. The image serves as a reminder of the rich natural history that once existed and continues to inspire wonder and fascination in us today. Joseph Wolf's masterful artwork, with its intricate details and lifelike accuracy, continues to captivate and educate, offering a unique window into the natural world of the past. This image, taken from "The Life and Habits of Wild Animals," is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of natural history illustration or the natural world itself.
