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 18th century drawing depicts Carpinus betulus L., commonly known as the European hornbeam or common hornbeam. The tree is a member of the Betulaceae family, which is part of the order Fagales and the class Magnoliopsida, or rosids. As an eudicot and angiosperm, Carpinus betulus is a flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. The illustration, Sketch 36 from Volume 66 of Georg Dionysius Ehret's original drawings and sketches, captures the intricate details of the hornbeam's leaves. The tree is known for its distinctive, alternate, simple, and deciduous leaves, which are ovate to elliptical in shape and have a serrated margin. The leaves turn yellow in the autumn, adding a warm hue to the landscape. Ehret, a renowned botanical artist of the 18th century, expertly rendered the veins and surface texture of the leaves in this drawing. The veins are clearly visible, running parallel to each other and branching out from the midrib. The surface of the leaves appears smooth and glossy, with a subtle sheen that catches the light. The European hornbeam is native to Europe and parts of Asia, and is often found in woodlands and along riverbanks. It is a hardy tree that can grow up to 20 meters tall and has a dense, rounded crown. The tree's wood is strong and durable, making it valuable for use in furniture and flooring. This drawing is a testament to Ehret's artistic skill and his dedication to accurately recording the natural world. It is a valuable addition to the Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, where it continues to inspire and educate researchers and visitors alike.
