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.

1. Title: Striped Cowfish, Aracana aurita: A Historical Glimpse into the Fascinating World of Zoology This handcolored copperplate engraving, created by George Shaw and Frederick Nodder for The Naturalist's Miscellany in London in 1797, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich history of zoology and natural history. The image showcases the Striped Cowfish, Aracana aurita, a vibrant and intriguing marine species. The meticulous detail and artistry of this engraving are evident in the delicate rendering of the Cowfish's striped patterns, which run vertically along its body, resembling the markings of a zebra. The fish's large, expressive eyes, full lips, and upturned mouth add to its unique character. The engraving also highlights the Cowfish's distinctive dorsal and pectoral fins, which appear to be spread wide, as if ready to propel the fish through the water. The Naturalist's Miscellany was a popular scientific publication during the late 18th century, dedicated to the exploration and documentation of the natural world. George Shaw and Frederick Nodder, renowned naturalists and illustrators of their time, collaborated on this project, producing high-quality engravings that showcased a wide range of species, from mammals and birds to reptiles and fish. This Striped Cowfish engraving is not only a testament to the artists' skill and dedication to their craft but also a valuable historical record of a fascinating marine species. The Cowfish, with its unique appearance and intriguing name, continues to captivate and inspire researchers, aquarists, and nature enthusiasts alike. The rich colors and intricate details of this engraving bring the Striped Cowfish to life, transporting us back in time to an era when the natural world was a source of endless fascination and discovery. This beautiful and historic image is a must-have for any collection focused on zoology, natural history, or the history of scientific illustration.
