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.

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 stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of the Black-eyed Susan vine, also known as Thunbergia alata. The intricate detail of the image is a testament to the skillful artistry of S. Nevitt, who expertly translated the botanical illustration by Miss Sara Maund into this exquisite work of art. The Black-eyed Susan vine is a vibrant and eye-catching climber, hailing from tropical Africa. Its name derives from its distinctive, golden-yellow flowers, which bear a striking resemblance to the Black-eyed Susan sunflower. The flowers' dark centers, or 'eyes,' are a rich, deep maroon color, adding an intriguing contrast to their sunny petals. The engraving captures the vine's lush foliage, which is characterized by its glossy, green leaves. The vine's tendrils are shown twining gracefully around a wooden trellis, demonstrating its natural ability to climb and support itself. Miss Sara Maund's original botanical illustration, which served as the basis for this engraving, was produced in the mid-19th century for Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's publication, "The Botanist." This publication was a significant contribution to Victorian botanical literature, showcasing a wide range of plants and flowers in meticulously detailed illustrations. This image of the Black-eyed Susan vine is a beautiful addition to any botanical collection or garden-themed decor. It serves as a reminder of the rich diversity of the natural world and the artistry of those who sought to document and preserve it for future generations.
