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 exquisite illustration is a captivating glimpse into the past, showcasing the enchanting beauty of the Calliandra species, as depicted in the Delineation of Exotic Plants cultivated in the Royal Garden at Kew, published in 1796. The artwork was created by the skilled hand of Franz Andreas Bauer, a renowned botanical illustrator of his time. The Calliandra plant, fondly known as the Powderpuff tree, is a native of Central and South America, and its vibrant pink blossoms have graced gardens and greenhouses around the world for centuries. In this illustration, Bauer masterfully captures the delicate intricacies of the Calliandra's flowers, their petals unfurling in perfect symmetry, revealing their soft, velvety texture. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the plant's veined leaves and the delicate tendrils that curl around the stem. The illustration is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, a testament to the importance of botanical art in documenting and preserving the natural world. The Delineation of Exotic Plants was a groundbreaking work, showcasing a diverse array of exotic species that were being introduced to European gardens and horticulture. This illustration, in particular, is a stunning example of the artistry and scientific precision that went into recording the natural world during this period. As we gaze upon this beautiful work of art, we are transported back in time, to an era when the discovery and documentation of new plant species was a source of great excitement and fascination. The Calliandra's enduring allure continues to captivate us, a reminder of the beauty and wonder that can be found in the natural world.
