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.

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 botanical drawing depicts Cytisus scoparius L., commonly known as Scotch Broom or Common Broom. The illustration is part of a larger collection of original drawings and sketches by the renowned German botanical artist, Georg Dionysius Ehret (1708-1770). The drawing is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. Cytisus scoparius is a flowering plant belonging to the Fabaceae or Leguminosae family, which is the third largest family of angiosperms. This eudicotyledonous plant is classified in the order Fabales, and is a member of the subfamily Cytisinae, tribe Cytiseae, and genus Cytisus. The plant is native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia, and is characterized by its shrubby growth habit and dense, spikelike inflorescences of yellow pea-like flowers. Ehret's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this illustration, which captures the intricacies of the Scotch Broom's flowers, leaves, and stems. The drawing showcases the plant's simple, alternate leaves, which are pinnate and have an odd number of leaflets. The inflorescence is depicted in full bloom, with numerous yellow flowers arranged in dense spikes. The flowers are bisexual, with a distinctively shaped calyx and corolla. This illustration is a testament to Ehret's extraordinary artistic skill and his significant contribution to the field of botanical illustration during the 18th century. The drawing provides a valuable record of the botanical knowledge of the time, and serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
