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 exquisite illustration showcases Tritonia aurea, a vibrant and captivating flowering plant belonging to the Iridaceae family, as depicted in volume 15 of Paxton's Magazine of Botany published in 1849. The illustration is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. Tritonia aurea, commonly known as the Golden Tritonia, is a monocotyledonous, monocot angiosperm, and a member of the Asparagales order. This plant was a popular subject during the Victorian era, particularly during the tenure of Sir Joseph Paxton, who served as the Superintendent of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew from 1837 to 1865. The illustration captures the plant in its full bloom, with its striking orange flowers unfurling in all their glory. The flowers, which are arranged in a spike inflorescence, display three petals and three sepals, each adorned with intricate veining and a distinctive nectary tube. The plant's leaves are long and strap-shaped, growing from a central rhizome. The illustration is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the botanical illustrators of the time. The use of color, shading, and fine lines effectively convey the delicate beauty and intricacy of the Golden Tritonia. This illustration is an invaluable resource for botanical research and education, providing a window into the rich biodiversity of the botanical world during the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world, a pursuit that continues to be relevant today.
