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
1. Title: Chinese Yam or Cinnamon-Vine, Dioscorea polystachya This stunning hand-colored steel engraving showcases the intricate details of the Chinese Yam or Cinnamon-Vine, Dioscorea polystachya. The botanical illustration was originally created by Edouard Maubert and later meticulously engraved by Oudet for the renowned horticultural publication, "La Regne Vegetal: Planets Agricoles et Forestieres," published by Pierre Oscar Reveil, A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincqs between 1864 and 1871. Dioscorea polystachya, also known as Chinese Yam, Cinnamon Vine, or Nagaimo, is a tuberous vine native to Southeast Asia. The plant is characterized by its long, slender tubers, which can grow up to 1 meter (3.3 feet) in length. The tubers have a smooth, brownish-yellow surface and a white, fibrous interior. The Chinese Yam is an essential food source in many Asian countries, particularly in China, Japan, and the Philippines. The tubers are used in various dishes, including soups, stews, and desserts. In Japan, they are commonly used in the preparation of "nagaimo no monjayaki," a popular savory pancake. The Cinnamon-Vine derives its name from the cinnamon-like aroma of its rhizomes. The plant is also known for its medicinal properties, particularly in traditional Chinese medicine, where it is used to treat various ailments, including digestive issues and arthritis. This beautiful engraving captures the intricate details of the Chinese Yam or Cinnamon-Vine, providing a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the plant kingdom during the late 19th century.
