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 exquisite hand-colored steel engraving, titled "Fruits, fruits légumieres," is a stunning botanical representation of various fruits and fruits légumieres, or edible gourds, from the late 19th century. The intricately detailed illustration, created by Edouard Maubert and expertly rendered in engraving by Debray, showcases five distinct fruits and gourds: chayote (Sechium edule) in the first and second positions, cantaloupe melon (Cucumis melo var. cantalupo) in the third position, and watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) in the fourth and fifth positions. Chayote, a native of Central America, is depicted as a long, pear-shaped gourd with a light green, smooth rind and white flesh. The cantaloupe melon, a popular and delicious summer fruit, is shown with its netted rind and orange flesh, while the watermelon, a quintessential symbol of warm weather, is illustrated with its iconic green rind and red, juicy flesh. This work of art is an essential addition to any botanical or horticultural collection, providing a glimpse into the rich history of fruit cultivation and botanical illustration. The meticulous attention to detail and vibrant hand-coloring bring these fruits to life, making this engraving a true masterpiece of its time.
