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.

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
Lemon Balm, Melissa Officinalis: A Treasured Herbal Gem from the Past This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of Lemon Balm, Melissa Officinalis, a beloved herb in the botanical world. Dating back to 1876, this image is taken from Dr. Willibald Artus' Hand-Atlas Sammtlicher Medizinisch-Pharmaceutischer Gewachse, or Handbook of All Medical-Pharmaceutical Plants. The meticulous detail and vibrant colors of the engraving transport us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history of herbal medicine. Lemon Balm, also known as Citronen Melisse in German, is a member of the mint family, Lamiaceae. Its delightful, lemony scent and soothing properties have made it a popular herb for centuries. Traditionally used in herbal medicine, Lemon Balm has been employed to alleviate stress, anxiety, and promote relaxation. The plant's leaves have a mildly sweet and lemony flavor, making it an excellent addition to teas, salads, and culinary dishes. The intricate details in this engraving highlight the plant's various morphological features, including its serrated, oval-shaped leaves, square stems, and small, white flowers that bloom in whorls. The delicate veins on the leaves and the veins on the stem are also beautifully rendered, adding to the overall charm of the image. This stunning botanical illustration serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with the natural world and the importance of documenting the diverse array of plants that have been used for medicinal and culinary purposes throughout history. With its captivating design and historical significance, this Lemon Balm engraving remains a valuable resource for botanists, herbalists, and anyone with an appreciation for the beauty and wonder of the natural world.
