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
Plate 4" from Archibald Thorburn's second edition of "British Birds, Vol. 1" (1925) features a captivating image of four distinct bird species perched on branches against a lush, green backdrop. The first bird, identified as Turdus torquatus, is the ring ouzel, characterized by its distinctive black plumage and bright blue-grey ring around its neck. The second bird, Turdus merula, is the common blackbird, or colly bird, easily recognized by its glossy black feathers and yellow beak with a orange tip. The third bird, also a blackbird species, is the Eurasian blackbird, which shares similarities with the common blackbird but has a slightly smaller beak and a more extensive range across Europe and Asia. The fourth bird, while not clearly visible in this image, is likely a Fabaceae angiosperm, or a flowering plant from the Fabales order, as evidenced by the presence of its distinctive flowers in the foreground. Archibald Thorburn's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate depiction of the birds' plumage, beaks, and postures. The artist's mastery of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism, transporting the viewer to a daytime scene in the British countryside. The eudicot, or Eurosid, Fabidae family members are depicted in their natural habitat, showcasing their role as important components of the avian community and the broader ecosystem. This evocative image is a testament to Archibald Thorburn's unparalleled ability to capture the essence of British birds and the natural world, making it a cherished addition to any collection of ornithological art.
