FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 print showcases the vibrant biodiversity of tropical plants and reptiles along the picturesque banks of the Orinoco River. The Orinoco River, a majestic waterway flowing through dense rainforests and swamps in Venezuela and Colombia, serves as a haven for an array of fascinating creatures. In this historical artwork from 1888, we are transported back to a time when French popular science weekly La Science Illustree celebrated the wonders of nature. The monochrome illustration beautifully captures the essence of this lush ecosystem with its intricate details. Amongst the diverse reptilian species depicted are crocodiles basking in the sun at lower center stage, snakes gracefully slithering across center right, turtles peacefully dwelling in the background, and lizards like iguanas adorning bottom left. Notably, this region is home to various crocodile species including the magnificent Orinoco crocodile. The image not only highlights South America's rich biological heritage but also offers insights into 19th-century zoology. It reminds us of our planet's incredible diversity and emphasizes our responsibility to protect these fragile ecosystems. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing snapshot frozen in time, it transports us deep into a world teeming with life where tropical plants intertwine with exotic reptiles against a backdrop of verdant foliage. This remarkable piece serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a testament to nature's boundless beauty.
