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
Amaryllis vittata, also known as the Spotted or Striped Amaryllis, is a stunning and intriguing member of the Amaryllidaceae family, showcased in this beautiful botanical illustration by Peter Brown from the 1760s, held in the Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. This flower is a part of the monocot order, specifically the subclass Magnoliophyta and the class Angiospermae. The Amaryllis vittata is characterized by its long, elegant inflorescence, bearing several pink flowers with distinctive dark spots on their petals. Each petal is divided into three parts, reflecting the triangular shape typical of monocots. The plant is native to South America, particularly in Brazil and Paraguay, and is known for its striking appearance and unique features. Despite its beauty, the Amaryllis vittata carries a potentially poisonous reputation. The bulb of this plant contains alkaloids, such as lycorine and galanthamine, which can be toxic if ingested. However, these compounds have also been studied for their medicinal properties, particularly in the treatment of various ailments, including gastrointestinal disorders and Alzheimer's disease. This illustration, with its meticulous attention to detail, provides an invaluable record of the Amaryllis vittata's appearance and features, allowing us to appreciate its natural beauty and scientific significance. As we marvel at the intricate patterns on the petals and the delicate veining on the leaves, we are reminded of the rich history of botanical exploration and the importance of preserving and studying the natural world.
