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 85: Turnix sp. Buttonquail, an exquisite watercolor painting by Pieter Cornelis de Bevere, showcases the intricate details and vibrant colors of this elusive and mottled bird species. The Turnix sp. Buttonquail, also known as the Tailless Buttonquail or the Spotted Buttonquail, is a small, ground-dwelling bird belonging to the Turnicidae family within the Charadriiformes order. This Sauropsida, or reptile-descended, avian creature is native to the Old World, particularly in Asia and Australia. Pieter Cornelis de Bevere, a Flemish naturalist and artist, meticulously captured the bird's distinctive features in this stunning 18th-century illustration. The Turnix sp. Buttonquail is characterized by its brown and grey, mottled plumage, with fine, streaked patterns on its body. The bird's most notable feature is its lack of a tail, which gives it an unusual appearance. This watercolor painting is part of the Loten Collection of coloured drawings of Birds, Mammals, Insects & Plants, a significant compilation of natural history art from the 18th century. The Loten Collection, which also includes works by other renowned naturalists and artists, provides valuable insights into the natural world of the time and showcases the artistic prowess of Pieter Cornelis de Bevere. The Turnix sp. Buttonquail continues to be a subject of fascination for ornithologists and bird enthusiasts due to its unique appearance and elusive nature. This illustration by Pieter Cornelis de Bevere serves as a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, offering a glimpse into the past while reminding us of the importance of preserving and appreciating the natural wonders that surround us.
