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 exquisite sketch, Carpinus betulus or Common Hornbeam (Sketch 244), is a captivating illustration from the extensive Ehret Collection of Sketches, unbound, created by the renowned German botanical artist, Georg Dionysius Ehret (1708-1770). Held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, this drawing showcases Ehret's masterful artistry and his profound understanding of the natural world. The Common Hornbeam, a member of the Betulaceae family and the Fagales order, is an essential tree species native to Europe. As an angiosperm, dicot, and eudicot, it belongs to the Magnoliophyta division, which includes all flowering plants. The tree is characterized by its distinctive, alternate, serrated leaves, which are arranged in a rosette at the base and form a dense canopy when mature. The flowers of the Common Hornbeam are monoecious, meaning they bear both male and female flowers on the same tree. Ehret's intricate and detailed sketch of the Common Hornbeam's flowers, leaves, and overall structure highlights the tree's unique features and beauty. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the delicate veining on the leaves, the precise rendering of the flower structures, and the subtle shading that brings the sketch to life. As a significant figure in the history of botanical illustration, Ehret's work continues to inspire and captivate audiences today. This stunning sketch of the Common Hornbeam is a testament to his artistic talent and his profound connection to the natural world.
