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 engraving, titled "Interior of the Great Palm House, Kew Gardens, Surrey, 1852," offers a glimpse into the grandeur and historical significance of one of the most iconic structures at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew. The Great Palm House, built between 1844 and 1848, was a groundbreaking architectural achievement of its time, designed by Decimus Burton and Richard Turner. This image, created in 1852, showcases the centre of the glasshouse, which was a hub of scientific discovery and innovation. The Great Palm House was the largest glasshouse in the world at the time, and its construction marked a major milestone in the history of botanical exploration. The interior of the structure was filled with a diverse array of exotic plants from tropical climates, many of which were newly discovered. The glasshouse's unique design allowed for the creation of a microclimate, enabling the survival and growth of these plants in the cooler English climate. The engraving captures the grandeur of the interior, with its towering glass walls and intricate ironwork. The central walkway, which can be seen in the image, allowed visitors to stroll through the lush foliage and observe the plants up close. The palm trees, which give the Great Palm House its name, dominate the scene, their tall trunks reaching towards the glass ceiling. This historical image provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of scientific discovery and innovation that took place within the walls of the Great Palm House at Kew Gardens in the mid-19th century.
