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
1. Title: A Vibrant Triad of Flora: Caper Tree, Mulberry, and Raspberry This exquisite handcoloured woodblock engraving, hailing from the 16th century, showcases three distinct plants in their botanical glory: the Caper Tree (Capparis spinosa), Mulberry Tree (Morus alba), and Raspberry Bush (Rubus idaeus). The intricate illustration, taken from Adam Lonicer's Krauterbuch or Herbal, published in Frankfurt in 1557, is a testament to the meticulous detail and artistry of the time. The Caper Tree, with its prickly bark and distinctive blue-purple flowers, is depicted at the center. Traditionally used for medicinal purposes, its leaves and buds were believed to have various health benefits, including the ability to stimulate appetite and relieve flatulence. To the left, the Mulberry Tree, with its broad, lush foliage and ripe, juicy fruits, is shown. This tree was revered for its nourishing properties, with its fruit being a staple food source for both humans and animals. The white, velvety bark and the elegant, drooping branches add to the enchanting beauty of the illustration. On the right, the Raspberry Bush is depicted in all its splendor, with its thorny stems and luscious, red berries. Rich in vitamins and antioxidants, raspberries were valued for their medicinal and nutritional properties. The delicate veins on the leaves and the intricate details of the berries are masterfully captured in this engraving. This illustration is a pirate edition or atlas of botanical engravings, featuring captions in Latin, Greek, French, Italian, and English manuscripts. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring these plants to life, offering a glimpse into the rich botanical knowledge of the 16th century.
