23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 stunning print captures the beauty of the Heart-leaved protea, Protea cordifolia, with its large pink and green flowers and crimson-edged foliage. The illustration was originally created by Henrietta Moriarty for her book "Fifty Plates of Greenhouse Plants" in 1807, a re-issue of her own work "Viridarium" from 1806.
Henrietta Moriarty was a remarkable woman - a colonel's widow who turned to writing novels and illustrating botanical books to support her four children. Her hand-colored copperplate engravings are not only beautiful works of art but also serve as important botanical guides.
The Heart-leaved protea is truly a sight to behold, with its vibrant colors and unique shape. This image serves as a reminder of nature's incredible diversity and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
As we admire this exquisite artwork, let us also take a moment to appreciate the dedication and talent of female artists like Henrietta Moriarty who have made significant contributions to the world of botany and beyond. This print is not just a visual delight but also a tribute to the creativity and resilience of women throughout history.
