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 stunning watercolor painting by Sydney Parkinson captures the majesty and power of a Yellowfin Tuna, scientifically known as Thunnus albacares, during Captain James Cook's historic first voyage to explore the southern continent from 1768 to 1771. The painting, which is part of the collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural world of the 18th century. The Yellowfin Tuna, a large, powerful, and fast-swimming bony fish, is a member of the Scombridae family, which also includes mackerel and bonito. With its vibrant yellow fin and back, this fish is a striking example of the beauty and diversity of the ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii), a large group of bony fish characterized by their rayed fins. The painting provides a detailed and accurate representation of the anatomy of this impressive creature. The tuna's large, dark eye is fixed on something in the distance, perhaps a potential prey or a threat. Its powerful tail propels it through the water, while its dorsal and pectoral fins help it maneuver and stabilize. This painting is not only an exquisite work of art but also a testament to the spirit of exploration and discovery that characterized the 18th century. Captain James Cook's voyages opened up new horizons and expanded our knowledge of the natural world. Sydney Parkinson's illustrations, which were produced during these expeditions, remain an invaluable source of information and inspiration for scientists, artists, and adventurers alike.
