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
Bejuco de Santiago, or Aristolochia trilobata, is a captivating and intricately beautiful plant species, as depicted in this exquisite hand-coloured copperplate engraving from the Victorian era. Created by Watts after a botanical illustration by Mills, this image is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic mastery of the time. Aristolochia trilobata, also known as Trifid Birthwort or Trifida, is a vine native to Central and South America. Its unique and striking appearance is characterized by its three-lobed leaves, which give the plant its name. The plant is also notable for its pipevine-like flowers, which are pollinated by specific moths attracted to their strong, unpleasant odor. This engraving is a stunning example of the botanical illustrations featured in Benjamin Maund and the Rev. John Stevens Henslow's publication, "The Botanist," published in London in 1836. The work was a significant contribution to the field of botany during the Victorian era, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the natural world through precise and detailed illustrations. The intricate engraving process involved the transfer of a design from an original drawing to a copper plate, which was then etched with acid to create the lines and details. The plate was then inked and hand-coloured, resulting in the vibrant and lifelike image we see today. This image invites us to appreciate the intricacies of nature and the artistic skill of the past.
