Presentation: Professionally printed and mounted between sheets of perspex (frameless).

Presentation explained:
Perspex mounting is a contemporary way to present photographic prints for interiors. The colour print is bonded to clear acrylic using a silicon gel and then backed with a black acrylic substrate. Once the perspex has been bonded to the front of the print the appearance is of high definition with deep saturated colour. The completed piece is supplied with an aluminium sub-frame, which floats the panel from the wall. Reverse perspex has a reflective diamond polished finish with a stunning flawless result. Printed, mounted & finished by Metro Imaging.

Orientation: This artwork is best displayed horizontally.

Authentication: Prints are signed on verso and supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Delivery: Metro Imaging in Central London use an experienced shipping service to deliver the reverse perspex mounted prints. Metro take great care ensuring that prints are very well protected and efficiently delivered in the UK and overseas. Metro offer a vast array of delivery options to suit the recipient’s preference, all of which is overseen by Mr Steel.

Subject information:
The common pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) is a bird in the pheasant family (Phasianidae). It is native to Asia and has been widely introduced elsewhere as a game bird. In parts of its range, namely in places where none of its relatives occur such as in Europe (where it is naturalised), it is simply known as the “pheasant”. Ring-necked pheasant is both the name used for the species as a whole in North America and also the collective name for a number of subspecies and their intergrades which have white neck rings. The word pheasant is derived from the ancient town of Phasis, the predecessor of the modern port city of Poti in Western Georgia. It is a well-known game bird, among those of more than regional importance perhaps the most widespread and ancient one in the whole world. The common pheasant is one of the world’s most hunted birds.
