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 beautiful and intriguing image showcases a rare variety of pear known as the Bergamot Pear, specifically the GANDEL'S BERGAMOT, captured in a photograph taken in the year 1871. The pear, with its unique and alluring appearance, is a historical treasure that tells a fascinating story about the rich history of fruit cultivation. The Bergamot Pear, also known as the Clapp's Favorite or the Old English Bergamot, is a European pear variety that was widely grown during the late 18th and 19th centuries. Its name derives from its distinctive bergamot-like aroma, which is said to be reminiscent of the citrus fruit. The pear in this photograph exhibits a striking resemblance to a bergamot orange, with its yellow-green skin adorned with a delicate, orange-red blush. The fruit's shape is elongated and slender, with a slight curvature at the stem end. The background of the image is simple, allowing the pear to take center stage, showcasing its exquisite beauty in all its glory. The Bergamot Pear was once a popular variety, but its cultivation declined in the late 19th and early 20th centuries due to the emergence of newer and more productive pear varieties. Today, it is considered a rare and valuable historical fruit, and efforts are being made to preserve and propagate this unique and intriguing pear variety. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the rich and diverse world of historical fruit varieties. The Bergamot Pear, with its captivating appearance and intriguing history, continues to fascinate and inspire us, reminding us of the importance of preserving our agricultural heritage for future generations.
