31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 7 from William MacGillivray's Watercolour Drawings of British Animals (1831-1841) presents a captivating and intricately detailed illustration of the Common Eider, Somateria mollissima. This majestic duck species is depicted in its natural habitat, with its belly resting on a sandy beach, surrounded by the crisp, green waves. The Common Eider's distinctive features are on full display, including its long, greenish-black bill, harlequin-patterned mask, and the elegant curve of its nape. The Common Eider's face is a marvel of anatomy, with its large, expressive eyes, rounded forehead, and well-defined cheek lines. Its breast is adorned with a soft, downy covering, providing insulation in the cold waters where it resides. The long, webbed feet of the Common Eider are also visible, perfectly adapted for swimming and diving in search of food. The Common Eider is a member of the Anatidae family, and its anatomy is a testament to the incredible adaptations that allow it to thrive in its aquatic environment. MacGillivray's meticulous attention to detail in this illustration captures the essence of the Common Eider's beauty and grace, making it a must-see for any nature enthusiast or artist. This stunning 19th-century illustration offers a glimpse into the natural world of the past, providing a valuable record of the Common Eider and its habitat. MacGillivray's Watercolour Drawings of British Animals remains a treasured resource for those interested in the natural history of the British Isles and beyond.
