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
Edward Heath Rodd: A Gentleman of Nature's Realm". This print captures the essence of Edward Hearle Rodd, a remarkable figure in England's natural history. Taken around 1879, this upper body studio portrait showcases Rodd seated with an air of wisdom and tranquility as he engrosses himself in a book. Born in St Just in Roseland, his passion for nature led him to become not only a solicitor but also an esteemed ornithologist. Rodd's love for birds knew no bounds, and his contributions to the field were invaluable. As a prolific writer for prestigious publications such as The Zoologist and the Journal of the Royal Institution of Cornwall, he shared his extensive knowledge and research on avian species. His dedication went beyond words; he actively rescued numerous rare birds from obscurity within Cornwall, ensuring their survival and enriching the List of British Birds with new additions. Behind this enigmatic photograph lies an unsung hero who dedicated his life to preserving nature's wonders. Although taken by an unknown photographer, it perfectly encapsulates Rodd's profound connection with the natural world. Today, we honor Edward Hearle Rodd as both a gentleman and a pioneer in zoology—a man whose legacy continues to inspire future generations fascinated by our feathered friends.
