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 exquisite botanical sketch, titled "Camellia japonica" or "Common Camellia," is an 18th-century masterpiece by the renowned German botanical artist, Georg Ehret Dionysius (1708-1770). The original artwork is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. Camellia japonica, also known as the Japanese Camellia, is a beloved flowering plant in the Theaceae family, which is part of the larger group of Angiosperms, Dicotyledons, or Dicots. This Eudicot, Angiospermae, or Magnoliophyta, is a crucial member of the Asterid clade and the Camellieae tribe. Ehret's intricate and detailed sketch captures the essence of the Camellia japonica's beauty, with its large, pink, velvety petals and glossy green leaves. The Camellia is a symbol of perfection in the world of flowers, with its symmetrical form and refined elegance. The Camellia japonica has been admired for centuries for its ornamental value, particularly in East Asia, where it is native. The plant's ability to thrive in cooler climates and its resistance to frost made it a popular choice for gardens in Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries. Ehret's skillful rendering of the Camellia japonica is a testament to the artist's dedication to botanical illustration during the Age of Enlightenment. His work, along with that of other botanical artists of the time, played a crucial role in the advancement of botanical knowledge and the documentation of the natural world. This stunning sketch invites us to appreciate the intricacies of nature and the artistry of the past. It is a reminder of the beauty and importance of the natural world and the role that botanical illustration plays in capturing and preserving it for future generations.
