17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 titled "Botany: Mandrake, 1581" is a stunning example of botanical illustration from the Renaissance era. Created by Matthaeus Lobeliuss for his book "Plantarum seu Stirpium Icones" this artwork beautifully captures the intricate details of the mandrake plant. The mandrake, known for its mystical properties and rich history in folklore and medicine, takes center stage in this woodcut. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings every leaf, root, and late to life with remarkable precision. Each delicate line etched into the woodblock showcases Lobeliuss' skill as an illustrator during this period. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable insights into the study of botany in the late 16th century. It offers us a glimpse into how plants were observed and documented during that time, highlighting their medicinal uses and importance within society. As we admire this piece today, it reminds us of the significant contributions made by early botanists like Lobelius in expanding our knowledge of plants and their diverse properties. This woodcut stands as a testament to both artistic talent and scientific curiosity that flourished during the Renaissance period.
