Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.

Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration showcases the exquisite details of the Amicua melon, a fascinating member of the Cucurbitaceae family, as depicted in Plate LXXII of George Brookshaw's comprehensive work on botany. The Natural History Museum in London houses this remarkable piece in their Botany Library, a testament to the rich history of botanical exploration. The Amicua melon, also known as the bitter apple gourd or amarbel, is a type of cucurbitaceous fruit that bears both male and female flowers on the same plant. In this illustration, we can observe the intricate structures of the melon's floral parts. The male flowers are shown with their elongated filaments and anthers, while the female flowers display their distinctive, three-lobed stigma. The Amicua melon is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. As a dicot, it belongs to the Eudicot clade, which includes a vast array of diverse plant species. The melon's broad, palmate leaves, characteristic of eurosids, can be seen in the background of the illustration. The Amicua melon is not only a botanical curiosity but also an important food source. Its juicy fruit is edible and is used in various culinary applications, adding a unique, bitter flavor to dishes. The plant's botanical name, Cucumis amicua, reflects its relationship to the cucumber, Cucumis sativus, within the order Cucurbitales. This beautiful illustration by George Brookshaw not only showcases the intricacies of the Amicua melon but also serves as a window into the rich biodiversity of the plant kingdom.
