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 seventeenth-century engraving, titled "Ageratum," is a captivating illustration from the renowned Bibliotheca Pharmaceutica-Medica, published in Genoa, Italy. The work was created by the skilled hand of J. Jacobi Mangeti and showcases the beauty and intricacy of the Ageratum plant in vibrant colors. The Ageratum, also known as the Flossflower or Eupatorium, is a herbaceous plant native to Mexico and Central America. This engraving depicts the flowering plant in all its splendor, with its distinctive blue or purple flowers arranged in dense, rounded clusters. The plant's lilac hue and delicate, fern-like leaves are also accurately portrayed. During the seventeenth century, the Ageratum was highly valued for its medicinal properties. The plant's root, specifically Ageratum houstonianum and Ageratum serratum, was used to treat various ailments, including fever, dysentery, and diarrhea. The plant was also believed to have anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic effects. This engraving is an essential historical record of the botanical knowledge of the time. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of color demonstrate the advanced techniques and artistic skills of the period. The Ageratum's inclusion in the Bibliotheca Pharmaceutica-Medica underscores its significance as a medicinal plant during the seventeenth century. Today, the Ageratum remains a popular ornamental plant, appreciated for its attractive flowers and easy cultivation.
