23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 color drawing depicts the iconic Botanic Garden, or as it was then known, the Physic Garden, in the heart of Chelsea, London. The scene is rendered in exquisite detail by the skilled hand of Henrietta Grace Baden Powell, nee Smyth (1824-1914), an accomplished artist and mother of the renowned scouting pioneer, Robert Baden-Powell. The drawing, created in 1844, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the tranquil beauty of the garden as it was over 175 years ago. At the center of the composition, the statue of Sir Hans Sloane (1660-1753) stands proudly. Sir Hans Sloane was a prominent figure in the history of the Botanic Garden, having donated his vast collection of natural specimens to King Charles II in 1722, which formed the foundation of the Royal Botanic Gardens. His generosity and passion for botany laid the groundwork for the development of this esteemed institution. The drawing captures the essence of the garden in its prime, with lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and intricate details of various plant species. The serene atmosphere is further emphasized by the absence of crowds and the peaceful reflection of the scene in the pond at the foreground. Henrietta Grace Baden Powell's masterful use of color and shading brings the image to life, transporting us back in time and inviting us to appreciate the timeless charm of the Botanic Garden in Chelsea.
