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 hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the African bowstring hemp, Sansevieria hyacinthoides, also known as Commelin Aloes de Guinee or Sansevieria trifasciata 'Hahnii'. Dating back to 1783, this exquisite artwork is a masterpiece from Pierre Joseph Buchoz's Herbier Artificial, a comprehensive collection of over fifteen hundred European and exotic plant plates. The intricate details of the African bowstring hemp's foliage are depicted, with the undulating, atro (dark) variegated leaves forming a striking contrast against the background. The engraving also features other plants native to Lebanon and the Mediterranean region, including the Cedar of Lebanon, Cedrus libani, and the Pinus (Pine) Linn or Cedre avec tous les details de sa fructification. The evergreen conifer is renowned for its iconic, tall, conical shape and its distinctive, cone-shaped seeds. Jean Victor Dupin junior was the talented engraver behind this piece. His meticulous attention to detail is evident in the delicate lines and vibrant colors used to bring these plants to life. The botanical illustration is a testament to the rich biodiversity of the natural world and the artistic prowess of the time. This artwork is a valuable addition to any collection of botanical art, botany, or natural history. It offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and complexity of the natural world as it was understood during the late 18th century.
