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 woodcut print from Johannes de Cubas Hortus Sanitatis, Paris in 1498 showcases the intriguing world of botany through a unique lens. Titled "Botany: Female Mandrake" this artwork is a testament to the Renaissance era's fascination with both science and art. In this image, we see a personification of the female mandrake plant standing proudly. The artist skillfully combines elements of allegory and biology to create an enchanting composition. The intricate details of the woodcut technique bring out every delicate feature, making it truly mesmerizing. The significance of this piece lies not only in its artistic beauty but also in its medicinal implications. Mandrake has long been recognized for its healing properties, particularly as an herb used in traditional medicine practices during medieval times. This print serves as a visual representation of botanical knowledge passed down through generations. What makes this artwork even more remarkable is how it challenges societal norms by depicting a nude woman as the embodiment of nature's power and fertility. It symbolizes femininity and strength intertwined with botanical wonders. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we are transported back to an era where art seamlessly merged with scientific exploration. Through "Botany: Female Mandrake" we gain insight into the rich tapestry that was Latin America's contribution to Renaissance botany - an exquisite blend of culture, science, and creativity that continues to inspire us today.
