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 showcases the intricate beauty of a Maggot-Bearing Stapelia, also known as Stapelia hirsuta L. The image is an engraving by Joseph Constantine Stadler, skillfully crafted after a painting by Peter Henderson for "The Temple of Flora" by Robert John Thornton in 1801. The Stapelia plant, native to British landscapes, flourishes with its succulent stem and stunning flowers. Its unique feature lies in its ability to attract insects, particularly flies, which are essential for pollination. This engraving perfectly captures the delicate details of this fascinating botanical specimen. The composition exudes an air of elegance and sophistication that was characteristic of the late 18th century. It serves as a testament to the meticulous artistry employed during that era in depicting nature's wonders. As we delve into the world of botany and biology through this enchanting artwork, we are reminded of the interconnectedness between plants and insects. The presence of maggots on this particular species adds an intriguing element to our understanding of nature's complex web. This print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to appreciate both the scientific significance and aesthetic appeal found within one frame. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly ordinary organisms can possess extraordinary beauty when observed closely.
