17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-painted engraving, created by the renowned American ornithologist Alexander Wilson in 1824, showcases a captivating collection of wading birds from the Ardeidae, Rallidae, and Pelecaniformes families. The illustration features four distinct species: the Little Blue Heron (Egretta caerulea), Snowy Egret (Egretta thula), Virginia Rail (Rallus limicola), and Clapper Rail (Rallus longirostris). Wilson, a pioneer in the field of American ornithology, meticulously documented and illustrated numerous bird species during the early 19th century. His work significantly contributed to the scientific understanding of avian diversity in North America. This engraving is a testament to his dedication and skill, as each bird is depicted with remarkable detail and accuracy. The Little Blue Heron, with its electric-blue plumage, stands proudly at the center of the image. To its left, the Snowy Egret, with its elegant plumes and bold yellow feet, exudes grace and poise. The Virginia Rail and Clapper Rail, both marsh-dwelling species, are depicted in their natural habitat, with the Virginia Rail shown in its cryptic brown plumage and the Clapper Rail displaying its distinctive long, downward-curved bill. This engraving is a precious piece of historical art, showcasing the beauty and diversity of wading birds during the early 19th century. The intricate details, coupled with Wilson's exceptional talent, make this illustration a must-have for any ornithological collection or bird enthusiast's study.
