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 print takes us back to the year 1855, where we witness the delicate beauty of nature's silk producers. The image showcases a mulberry branch adorned with both a silk worm and its mature moth counterpart, known scientifically as Bombyx mori. The intricate wood engraving technique used in this piece brings out every detail of these fascinating creatures. The caterpillar, or silk worm, is seen diligently munching on the leaves of the mulberry tree while preparing for its transformation into an exquisite moth. The contrasting stages of life are beautifully juxtaposed in this artwork. On one side, we have the vibrant green caterpillar representing youth and growth; on the other side, we see the fully developed moth displaying elegance and maturity. Silk production has always been closely associated with these remarkable insects. Mulberry trees serve as their primary food source during their larval stage when they voraciously consume leaves to fuel their metamorphosis process. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of our fascination with entomology and biology throughout history. It allows us to appreciate the intricate world that exists within even the tiniest creatures around us. As we gaze upon this timeless work of art by The Granger Collection, let it inspire awe for nature's wonders and remind us of our interconnectedness with all living beings.
