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 stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving by Jean Victor Dupin junior, titled "Copianthus indica" or the Cornucopian shrub, is a beautiful representation of this intriguing and unique plant from the Herbier Artificial by Pierre Joseph Buchoz, published in Paris in 1783. The Cornucopian shrub, also known by its other names such as Elkhorn, Rhombophyllum dolabriforme, Hatchet-leaved fig, Marigold mesembryanthemum, and Lingui formi longiere, is a mesembryanthemum species native to South Africa. The engraving captures the plant's distinctive features, with its long, curved, and serrated leaves resembling the horn of a cornucopia. The leaves are arranged in rosettes at the base of the plant, with the stem elongated and bearing small, yellow flowers. The plant's foliage is covered in tiny, translucent hairs, giving it a shimmering effect. The Cornucopian shrub was a popular subject in botanical illustrations of the time due to its unusual appearance and intriguing name. The engraving is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistry of the time, with the delicate veining and texture of the leaves and the precise rendering of the flowers. The Herbier Artificial was a comprehensive work, featuring over fifteen hundred plates of both European and exotic plants, making it an essential resource for botanists and collectors of the time. The engraving is a beautiful example of the art of botanical illustration, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
