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 depicts the Satyr Tragopan, Tragopan satyra, also known as the Nepal or horned pheasant. The Satyr Tragopan is a near-threatened species of bird native to the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China. With its vibrant plumage, distinctive horns, and intricate facial markings, this bird is a true marvel of the ornithological world. The Satyr Tragopan was first described by the French naturalist Georges Cuvier in 1829, and this illustration is taken from his influential work, "The Animal Kingdom," published in London by Whittaker. The meticulous attention to detail in this handcolored engraving, produced by the skilled artisans at Charles Hamilton Smith's studio, brings the Satyr Tragopan to life in a way that words alone cannot. The Satyr Tragopan is a forest-dwelling bird that prefers to inhabit dense, humid habitats at high altitudes. It is an elusive species, making it difficult to study in the wild. As a result, much of what is known about its behavior and ecology comes from observations of captive individuals and field studies. Despite its striking appearance, the Satyr Tragopan faces numerous threats, including habitat loss, poaching, and predation by mammalian predators. Conservation efforts are underway to protect this fascinating bird and ensure its survival for future generations to appreciate. This beautiful illustration serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and the unique creatures that inhabit it.
