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 illustration is taken from Pomona Franconica, a horticultural treatise published between 1776 and 1801 by the renowned German botanical artist, Johann Mayer of Wurzburg. Entitled "Azerole-poire" or "Mespilus sp. Azarole-pear," this illustration showcases the intricate details of both the flower and the fruit of this fascinating plant. Mespilus, also known as the common medlar or azerole, is a species of flowering plant in the family Rosaceae, specifically the subfamily Crataegoideae. It is an angiosperm, a type of seed-bearing plant that produces enclosed seeds, and is classified as a eudicot, a group of dicotyledonous plants characterized by the presence of two seed leaves. The plant depicted in this illustration is adorned with delicate, white, five-petaled flowers, each with a yellow center. The fruit, which is shown in various stages of ripening, is unique in its appearance and texture. It begins as a hard, inedible fruit that turns soft and sweet once it has been exposed to frost. This process, known as "blebbing," allows the fruit to develop its characteristic sweet and aromatic flavor. Mespilus sp. is native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia, and has been cultivated for its fruit since ancient times. It is a popular ornamental plant and is also used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. This stunning illustration not only showcases the beauty of the Azerole-pear but also provides a glimpse into the intricacies of botanical art during the 19th century. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of naturalistic colors make this a true masterpiece of botanical illustration.
