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 hand-colored steel engraving showcases an intriguing assemblage of natural wonders from the Caribbean and the underwater world. At the center, the iconic Gumbo-limbo tree (Bursera simaruba) stretches its gnarled trunk towards the sky, its red bark peeling off in ribbons, earning it the local name "Chaca Tree" or "Copperwood." To the left, the broad sea fan coral (Eunicella verrucosa), also known as the warty gorgonian, unfurls its vibrant, fan-like structure, teeming with colorful marine life. Its warty surface provides shelter for various organisms, contributing to the rich biodiversity of coral reefs. On the right, the cuckoopint (Arum maculatum) adds a touch of terrestrial beauty to the scene. This native plant of the Americas is also known as the "Lady's Slipper" due to its distinctive, orchid-like flowers. The engraving is an exquisite reproduction of an original illustration by A. Carie Baron, published in Felix-Edouard Guerin-Meneville's Dictionnaire Pittoresque d'Histoire Naturelle (Picturesque Dictionary of Natural History) between 1834 and 1839. The meticulous detail and vibrant colors bring these natural treasures to life, offering a glimpse into the rich natural history of the Caribbean and the wonders that lie beneath the waves.
