1820 Herbal Meadow Saxifrage Scabious
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 coloured plate, titled "Scabious, Meadow Saxifrage, White Saxifrage," is an exquisite example of botanical illustration from Sir John Hill's esteemed publication, "The Family Herbal," circa 1820. Sir John Hill (1738-1813), a renowned British physician and botanist, dedicated his life to the study and documentation of medicinal plants. This plate, featuring three distinct species of Saxifrage and Scabious, showcases Hill's meticulous attention to detail and his deep understanding of the natural world. The plate includes an illustration of Scabious, characterized by its distinctive bell-shaped flowers and hairy stems. Adjacent to it, Meadow Saxifrage is depicted with its small, white flowers and creeping stems that root at the nodes. Lastly, White Saxifrage is illustrated with its white, star-shaped flowers and smooth, creeping stems. Each plant is rendered in stunning detail, with every vein and petal captured with precision. The intricate engraving technique used to create this plate adds to its allure, with the delicate lines and shading bringing the plants to life. The rich, vibrant colours further enhance the plate's beauty, making it a true testament to the art of botanical illustration during the 19th century. Sir John Hill's "The Family Herbal" was a groundbreaking work that aimed to provide an accurate record of medicinal plants and their uses. This plate, with its exquisite depiction of Scabious, Meadow Saxifrage, and White Saxifrage, is a testament to Hill's dedication and the remarkable advancements in botanical illustration during this period.
