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 handcolored stipple engraving is a captivating representation of various cherries (Prunus avium) from George Brookshaw's Pomona Britannica, published in London by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown in 1817. The illustration, meticulously crafted by George Brookshaw himself, showcases an array of cherries, including the Geisha Cherry (George's Cherry), Graffien, Bigarreau, and Harrison's Heart. The intricate details of the cherries are brought to life through the stipple engraving technique, which involves the application of tiny dots to create texture and depth. The delicate shading and precise coloring further enhance the realism of the illustration, making it a stunning example of botanical art from the early 19th century. The cherries are depicted in various stages of ripeness, from the pink buds to the fully red and succulent fruits. Each variety is labeled with its name, providing a valuable record of the different cherries known during that time. This illustration not only serves as a beautiful work of art but also as an important historical document, showcasing the diversity of cherry varieties that were cultivated and appreciated during the Georgian era. The botanical accuracy and artistic beauty of this illustration make it a must-have for anyone with an interest in fruit, botany, or the history of horticulture. This image is a testament to the skill and dedication of George Brookshaw and the importance of botanical illustration in documenting and preserving the natural world.
