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.

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 exquisite handcolored copperplate stipple engraving, created between 1816 and 1830, showcases two iconic bird species: the White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) and the Jabiru (Jabiru mycteria). The illustration is taken from the esteemed "Dictionnaire de Sciences Naturelles: Ornithologie" by Frederic Cuvier, published in Paris, France. The artwork was produced under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin and features the illustration by Jean Gabriel Pretre, a renowned painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo and later the artist to the Museum of Natural History. The White Stork is depicted standing tall with its distinctive long legs and neck, while its wings are spread wide as if ready for flight. Its white plumage and black wingtips make it an easily recognizable bird species. The Jabiru, on the other hand, is shown with its long, S-shaped neck and distinctive down-curved bill. This large wading bird is native to South America and is known for its ability to catch fish and other aquatic prey. The intricate details of the feathers and textures of the birds are beautifully rendered in this stipple engraving, a technique that involves the use of tiny dots to create shading and depth. The handcoloring adds an extra layer of vibrancy and realism to the image, making it a stunning representation of these two remarkable bird species.
